Wayne Rooney has apologised for his post-match rant at England's fans after the draw with Algeria on Friday night. As he made his way off the pitch following the goalless stalemate, Rooney turned to a television camera and condemned the fans who had booed the Three Lions' performance, before swearing.

After reflecting on his conduct overnight, the Manchester United striker admitted he had gone over the top.

"Last night, on reflection I said things in the heat of the moment that came out of frustration of both our performance and the result," Rooney said in a statement issued by the Football Association.

"For my part I apologise for any offence caused by my actions at the end of the game."

The 24-year-old allowed his frustrations to spill over after failing to score in his sixth consecutive tournament game, a run that dates back to Euro 2004.
