Rooney ref rage

DERBY manager Wayne Rooney claimed his team were shortchanged on the penalty front after they were held by Coventry.

Rooney insisted referee Darren Bond should have awarded his side three spot kicks rather than the one dispatched by

Tom Lawrence. Derby had gone behind to a superb goal from Matt Godden after he played a one-two with Callum O’Hare before firing low past Ryan Allsop.

But Derby kept pressing and after Lawrence was tripped by Ben Sheaf inside the area, the Wales international smashed the penalty past Simon Moore. Rooney said: ‘I think the referee had to give us one penalty out of the three we should have had.

‘I told the referee after the game that’s not good enough, the one on Lee Buchanan is a clear penalty.’

Coventry manager Mark Robins added: ‘I think the penalty was harsh, I really do, I think it was a little bit searching for the leg, but then the penalty is brilliant, no keeper in the world is saving it.’
