The Manchester United hitman’s superb second saw him watch Wayne Rooney’s pinpoint pass drop over his shoulder before thundering the ball home from outside the area.  The Dutchman’s wonderstrike has to be a contender for goal of the season for sheer audacity alone — never mind it helped wrestle back the title from noisy neighbours Manchester City.  And in honour of Van Persie’s magical finish, SunSport have gone through the archives to bring you our top 10 first-time volleys from the Premier League.  For Arsenal at The Emirates Stadium, Decemeber 10, 2011  Similar to his jaw-dropper last night, this beauty was the only way Arsenal were going to breach the Everton defence that day.  For Tottenham at White Hart Lane, April 14, 2010  Rose went from unknown to Spurs legend in an instant with this stunner against their North London rivals.  For Man Utd at Valley Parade, March 25, 2000  For technique, only Van Persie comes close to Scholes as this thunderous strike from a David Beckham corner shows.  For Newcastle at St James' Park, December 1, 2002  Unsurprisingly, this Shearer strike is a real howitzer that almost rips the net in half.  For Man Utd at Old Trafford, February 12, 2011  Great players find ways to score great goals and there are few better than this unforgettable overhead from Roo.  For Leeds at Elland Road, August 21, 1995  Yeboah will go down in history for his wonderstrikes, with this volley from a difficult angle the pick of the bunch.  For Arsenal at The Valley, September 30, 2006  This list is in honour of RVP and he features twice thanks to this outrageous effort from the edge of the area.  For West Ham at Upton Park, March 26, 2000  Di Canio gave us something we'd never seen before with this scissor kick on the angle. Inspirational genius.  For Man Utd at Villa Park, December 23, 2006  To strike a football cleanly and powerfully as the ball drops from a height, with players closing you down, is an art only a handful can manage. Scholes is the master.  For Man Utd at Old Trafford, April 24, 2005  The timing needed to execute this breathtaker is so hard to achieve, as well as the power and accuracy required. Roo tops out list for those reasons alone.  Do you agree with our list? Let us know in the comment section below.
