Ex-ref Poll says Man Utd striker Rooney deserved red

Former Premier League ref Graham Poll says Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney should've been sent off in their 2-2 draw at Cardiff City.

Poll wrote in the : "In just the eighth minute Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney clearly kicked out at Cardiff's Jordan Mutch in an act of petulance that we have seen too often in the past. Disappointingly (Neil) Swarbrick showed Rooney the yellow card.

"Sometimes incidents happen too early in a game and when they are as big as dismissing one of the games superstars you need to be strong and make the right decision."
