Wayne Rooney's official debut as the manager of Plymouth Argyle was not smooth sailing.

In the first match of the Championship season, Rooney's team lost 0-4. The hosts, Sheffield Wednesday, were the stronger side.

Sheffield Wednesday scored one goal in the first half and another three after the break. Moreover, they created a total of 5.20 xG (expected goals), which is a very high number.

W. Rooney joined the Plymouth Argyle team after an unsuccessful stint at Birmingham City.
