After a scrappy display, United and Louis van Gaal were rescued by the England captain, who smashed the ball past Simon Mingnolet when Marouane Fellaini's header came off the crossbar.
The win moves the Red Devils up to fifth place in the league and just three points behind Spurs in fourth.
And Rooney was elated to win given the importance of the match.
He told Sky Sports: "Everyone knows the importance of this game - regardless of league positions, it is a massive football game and it is a great victory.
"We needed the three points and to continue the start to this year, so it is a massive win for us."
