Goal is fine. Keeper wasn't impeded. He fluffed up.
Keeper might not have gotten there either way but Rooney was clearly interfering from an offside position.
The whole point of the interference ruling is that a player who's in an offside position way outside the action zone and obviously doesn't affect the game won't keep a legit goal from standing. Rooney was right in the middle of it all and basically moved out of the path the ball took. There will be a report to the FA tonight from the monitoring referee in the stands where he criticises this decision, you can bet your house on it.
