Wayne Rooney reveals what Liverpool fans always do to him whenever they beat Everton

Liverpool beating Everton gives the red side of the city all the bragging rights, and Wayne Rooney knows it.

Before becoming an all-time Premier League great at Old Trafford, Rooney exploded at Everton as a teenager. He still holds the club close to his heart, and that can be problematic on days like today.

Liverpool broke Everton hearts with a 100th-minute clincher from Virgil van Dijk — a perfect end to the maiden derby at the Hill Dickinson Stadium — and Rooney hasn’t heard the end of it.

Wayne Rooney admits he avoids his phone when Liverpool beat Everton

Liverpool are certainly not one of the Englishman’s favourite clubs. He went from one bitter Liverpool rival to another during his career.

While at United, he often got the better of the Reds during the dominant Alex Ferguson era, but his boyhood club don’t tend to find that same success. And Liverpool fans make sure to add to his misery whenever possible.

As he revealed on The Wayne Rooney Show: “No, it’s horrible when you lose the derby and Liverpool fans come out from everywhere.

“I haven’t even looked at my phone to be honest you know, but yeah it’s not nice when you lose derby and especially home. So, yeah, have to get over it quickly.”

It’s one of the best aspects of being a football fan, but often one of the worst as well. Bragging rights are fantastic to have, and nothing but pain when results don’t go in your favour.

And it’s not just online fans that Rooney will be wanting to avoid. His wife is an avid Reds supporter as well, so logging off social media isn’t going to save him from the pain.

He once locked his significant other out of the house for celebrating Liverpool’s title win a few years back.

As he once explained on the show: “When Liverpool won the Premier League a few years ago I came home, I was at Derby at the time, and Coleen’s got Liverpool flags up outside the house.

“It was our old house, so outside the front door there’s a little balcony thing and the flag was outside the window there, so I told her to go and get it down. She went up and you had to actually climb out the window to get it down, so she went up and I locked her out.”
