Forshaw left Plymouth in January after seeing his contract terminated and subsequently signed for Blackburn. The 33-year-old, who played under Rooney before he was sacked by the club, then faced former employers on Saturday and scored his first goal in nine years in a memorable win. He did not hold back when it came to his goal celebrations, either.

The win for Blackburn continued their push for a Championship play-off place and certainly brought Plymouth down to earth after an incredible few weeks. The Pilgrims enjoyed a spot of giant-killing in the FA Cup by beating Liverpool and also enjoyed important league wins against West Bromwich Albion and Millwall.
WHAT FORSHAW SAID
Forshaw spoke about his celebration after the game and insisted it was not aimed at his former club. He posted on Instagram: "No bad intentions with the celebration and sorry for how it came across. This is where the family were sat behind the benches."

Forshaw's last goal came all the way back in April 2016 when he netted for Middlesbrough against Reading.
