Everton star Wayne Rooney left bleeding heavily after fierce elbow from Simon Francis… but the referee gives no foul
Martin Atkinson allowed play to continue, but ex-Man United forward was clearly furious as blood poured from his eye
WAYNE ROONEY was left bleeding heavily from the eye following a fierce elbow from Simon Francis... but the referee gave no foul.
Martin Atkinson allowed play to continue at Goodison Park, but the ex-Man United forward was clearly furious as blood poured from his eye.
Standing on the sideline, Rooney gestured at the official - suggesting he had been caught with an elbow.
The incident occurred towards the end of the first-half against Bournemouth, when Rooney and Francis clashed while attempting a header.
When the ball eventually went out of play, Roo emerged with blood streaming down his face before going off for treatment.
Two minutes later, the English forward re-emerged, absolutely livid at the lack of punishment for Francis.
Just two minutes before half-time, Rooney had the cut re-opened after being bundled over by Adam Smith.
Once again, Roo was left bleeding heavily and was forced off for treatment from the Everton medics.
