LONDON (Reuters) -
Manchester United's Wayne Rooney, unhappy about a newspaper story
suggesting he was punched unconscious by a fellow Premier League player
in his kitchen, responded in knockout fashion against Tottenham Hotspur
on Sunday.
Rooney was left distinctly unimpressed that what he described as a
private joke with a few friends ended up on the front page of a national
newspaper, which also had a video of the episode on its website.Yet the United captain reckoned he had shown his professionalism by then leading his team to a handsome 3-0 win over fellow top-four contenders Spurs at Old Trafford, sealed by his own splendid goal which he celebrated by throwing a few shadow punches and then tumbling on to his back.
His comical theatrics earned him delighted laughter at the Theatre of Dreams with referee Mark Clattenberg among those to find the funny side.
