VIDEO: Wayne Rooney’s wild reaction to 93rd-minute Plymouth winner – with Man Utd legend claiming dramatic first Championship victory as Pilgrims boss

Rooney had to wait until his fifth Championship game in charge of Plymouth Argyle to see his side win their first league game of the season. However, the win came in very dramatic fashion as Joe Edwards scored in the 93rd minute of their game against league leaders Sunderland, after they equalised late in normal time. The Manchester United and England legend went bonkers on the touchline celebrating his first Championship win as Pilgrims boss.

Speaking to the media, Rooney said: "I thought in the first half we were okay but the chances they created came from us giving the ball away. I think we tidied up on that.

"I challenged them at half-time to be a bit more aggressive in the final third, to put balls in the box, land on second balls and get shots off. They went out and did it in the second half. That's what you want as a coach, when you're asking them to do things a little bit more.

"They did go out and do it, so I'm really pleased they did.

"In the last 15 minutes of the first half, I think we got control of the game, and we just weren't hurting them enough. The second half started the same way, but with a little bit more tempo, and then we were putting crosses in, getting shots off and that's what the crowd want to see. Then you feel like then Sunderland being a young team, that can affect them.

"I thought in the second half we were outstanding; over the course of the game, I think we deserved to win."

Rooney's men will now take on West Brom next weekend as they look to string together two wins on the bounce and improve their position in the Championship standings.
