Rooney joined Alan Shearer in a select club to become only the second player to score 200 Premier League goals after he put the ball in the net in the first half.
The game became more of a struggle for City when Kyle Walker was controversially red-carded a minute before half-time for a second caution.
Sterling salvaged a point for City towards the end of the game, before Morgan Schneiderlin was sent off for a sliding tackle on Sergio Aguero.
Rooney took to Twitter to mock some Manchester City supporters after the game as he posted a picture of him celebrating in front of unimpressed City fans.
Alongside it the 31-year-old wrote: “Always nice to see a few familiar faces.”
Rooney gave a coy response when asked whether he thought he would be recalled to the England squad after scoring in both of Everton’s opening Premier League fixtures.
He added: “We'll see. I'm just focused on Everton.
“I’ll speak to Gareth [Southgate] over next few days, we'll have a conversation and see what happens.”
