Wayne Rooney beats off competition from the likes of Alan Shearer, Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry to win the award for best goal in Premier League history.

Wayne Rooney's bicycle kick against Manchester City has been voted as the best goal in Premier League history.

As part of the Premier League's 20th anniversary celebrations, fans were invited to vote on a number of categories, including best goal, game and team.

Rooney won the best goal accolade with 26% of the votes, beating Dennis Bergkamp's skilful strike against Newcastle United, which won 19% of votes, and Thierry Henry's flicked volley against Manchester United, for which 15% of people voted.

Other goals in the shortlist included David Beckham's 50-yard strike against Wimbledon, winner of the 10-year anniversary vote, two Matt Le Tissier strikes and Tony Yeboah's volley against Liverpool.

The winners of the other categories are due to be announced throughout the next 12 days.
