I hope by an englishman......Coz Cisse's goal against chelsea was unbeatable in as many decades

Voting closed long before that stunner. The runners up were goals by Bergkamp & I think Henry - nationality was not an issue.

This is not about being English. The whole world was invited to vote via the EPL website. Despite being a Manutd Guy, I voted for the Bergkamp goal. I still marvel at it whenever I watch it.

This is how I voted;

Best Goal - Bergkamp
Best match - Manutd v Mancity 4-3
Best Save - Jussi Jaaskelainen against Manutd
Best Celebration - Cantona

@Taz, majority of the voters are british? Really? That's so weak.That's like saying most Arsenal fans would vote for Wright rather than Bergkamp or Henry. It was a vote and fans across the world voted, and Rooney won. Period!

@TAZ - You really need to get serious! You wanted Neymar's [Who has never played in the EPL] goal to be voted the best goal in the EPL?

Have you done Set Theory? EPL is a subset of the World. Given that Rooney's goal was in the short list for the best goal in the world last year and won the best goal in the EPL makes a lot of sense!

And for your info, the voting was done online. Everyone who watches EPL from wherever in the world had EQUAL opportunity to vote for their best goal! Hiyo ingine yote ni kelele!
