After a penalty exchange between Wayne Rooney and his former England team-mate Sol Campbell in Manchester United’s 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the 2004-2005 season, the pair went six months without speaking to each other.
Arsenal, under Arsene Wenger’s guidance, had won the previous season’s Premier League title, but Sir Alex Ferguson’s United ended their unbeaten run with a dreadful victory at Old Trafford.
After Rooney fell inside the box while being challenged by Arsenal centre-back Campbell, Ruud van Nistelrooy gave the hosts the lead from the penalty spot.
Rooney, who was 19 years old when he joined United from Everton earlier that summer, scored in the 93rd minute to seal the victory.
Cesc Fabregas, a 17-year-old Arsenal midfielder, threw a pizza at Ferguson following the game in a frantic incident known as the “Pizzagate.”
“It was a significant game for Arsenal,” he said. Rooney said in a new BBC podcast, The Wayne Rooney Show, “If they had won it, it would have been 50 games unbeaten for them.”
“Campbell didn’t contact me for more than six months after we defeated them 2-0.”
We met while on international duty, but Sol refused to speak with me. I used to say to Sol, “Come on, we are playing for England here,” when we were together.

Between February 1997 and February 2005, Arsenal and Manchester United faced seven red cards in regular contests for significant prizes.
The Arsenal players accused Van Nistelrooy of overreacting and sending Patrick Vieira to the side for a second yellow in 2003-2004.
The Dutch international’s subsequent failure to earn an injury-time penalty in the game, which was dubbed the “Battle of Old Trafford,” sparked unfavorable reactions from his rivals, particularly Martin Keown.
Referee Graham Poll ordered the captains to separate after Roy Keane and Vieira had a fight in the tunnel at Arsenal’s former stadium in Highbury the following year.
Rooney reflected on Arsenal’s 1-0 victory at Old Trafford in their Premier League opener on Sunday, saying: “When I joined United, it was our biggest rivalry. I used to enjoy playing against them, but it has since faded.
“I can recall that Roy and Vieira and I played in the tunnel at Highbury for United in the first game there.” Even the referees could hear it, and the game was clearly on a knife-edge.

According to the electoral council of Bolivia, a centrist and a right-wing candidate will face off in a presidential run-off, confirming the Movement for Socialism (MAS)’s two decades of rule.
With 32.8 percent of the vote counted on Sunday night, preliminary results revealed that centrist Rodrigo Paz of the Christian Democratic Party (PDC) was in the lead.
With 26.4 percent of the vote, conservative former interim president Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga of the Alianza Libre coalition will face Paz, the son of former left-leaning president Jaime Paz, in a run-off election on October 19.
To avoid a run-off, candidates had to earn at least 50%, or 40%, with a 10-point victory margin.
Bolivia’s Santa Cruz de la Sierra, which has ruled the nation since 2005, is “out of the picture,” according to Lucia Newman, a Latin America editor for Al Jazeera.
The “biggest surprise,” according to Newman, is that the frontrunner is someone who has been polling between fourth and fifth place up until now.
Paz is “more in the center” than his father, according to Newman.
In the far-right to the political left, eight presidential candidates were running for president on Sunday.
Samuel Doria Medina, a wealthy businessman and former planning minister, was one of the two front-runners in the polls, along with Quiroga, who served as interim president and vice president under Hugo Banzer, a former military leader.
Former leftist President Evo Morales was prohibited from running, and retiring socialist President Luis Arce, who had a disagreement with Morales, decided against running.
Few expected MAS to win back control of their leftist coalition, which coincided with the country’s severe economic crisis.
Within a week, official results will be released. Officials take office on November 8th, and voters will also elect all 26 senators and 130 deputies.
On Sunday, in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, election officials count the votes for the president and members of Congress.
Spiraling inflation
The Andean nation has experienced its worst economic crisis in a generation, which has resulted in severe US dollar and fuel shortages and annual inflation of almost 25%.
In the days leading up to Sunday’s election, Bolivians have frequently taken to the streets to protest skyrocketing prices and hours-long waits for essential items like food.
Under Morales, who nationalized the gas industry and invested the money in social initiatives that halved extreme poverty during his time in power between 2006 and 2019, Bolivia experienced more than a decade of robust growth and Indigenous empowerment.
However, a lack of new gas projects under Morales’ leadership, who was open about climate change and environmental issues, saw gas revenues decline from a previous high of $ 6.1 billion to $1.6 billion last year.
Ben Cabango, the skipper of Swansea City, claims that the club’s investment in Luka Modric and Snoop Dogg has “created the most buzz for a long time.”
In April, Modric, a former winner of the Ballon d’Or, co-founded Swansea, where rapper Snoop Dogg followed him.
Cabango, 25, says the club’s increased media coverage has raised welcome higher expectations. Cabango has been there for 11 years.
Cabango remarked, “This is the most buzz we’ve had in Swansea for a while.”
“We have some expectations now, which is really good.
The Swans won the Carabao Cup and Championship at home after falling to Middlesbrough on the opening day of the season.
After winning the League Two match with League Two, they won the League One Cup with a stunning 1-0 victory over Sheffield United.
The victories at Swansea.com Stadium further the impressive run of head coach Alan Sheehan.
Cabango added, “Our home games we’ve had since he has been in charge… six wins and one draw in the eight games.”
We’ve been strong defensively, and we’re always looking like we’re going to score.
Burgess partnership is “improved.”

Harry Darling left for a Cabango and summer signing Cameron Burgess, who is currently working on forming a new centre-back partnership, is just beginning to do so.
After seeing his contract expire with Ipswich Town, the 29-year-old Australian international signed a three-year deal with Sheehan’s side in June.
A clean sheet for Sheffield United was obtained with Saturday’s win over Sheffield United, and Cabango claims the relationship is “really improving.”
Cabango claimed that it takes “a while to make connections.”
“Every day, we’re just learning about each other, and it’s really improving.
We’re already starting to learn about each other, how he plays, and how I play since our second game together.
