Facing Latvian outfit Ventspils at Pittordie, the Dubliner capped off a man-of-the-match performance with the Dons’ second goal in a 3-0 victory.
Five minutes after Irishman Jonny Hayes had set up Jayden Stockey for the opener, Rooney rifled in a second with his left foot on 75 minutes, before on-loan winger Wes Burn headed in a third on his debut.
It’s Rooney’s second goal of the season and the eighth of his career in the Europa League.
Martin O’Neill may finally chose to give him his chance in an Ireland shirt with the World Cup qualifying campaign just around the corner as the current team aren’t exactly blessed with strikers.
