Manchester United defeat Sunderland 2-0 at old Trafford. Rooney scored after a foul on Radamel Falcao, for which Brown was dismissed and not John O'Shea, despite protests from the visitors.
United added a second when Rooney headed in after Adnan Januzaj's shot was parried into his path.
The victory reasserted the home side's challenge for a top-four place.
United moved up to third place in the Premier League as they claimed an 11th home win out of 14 in the top-flight so far this season. However, Brown's red card emerged as the talking point as the Old Trafford side finally earned a breakthrough to go with their improved second half urgency.
United win is 11th in 14 home league games
