These were the best jokes after Wayne Rooney suffered a gruesome eye injury following a challenge from Bournemouth’s Simon Francis as Everton hosted the southerners at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Rooney was left sprawled on the grass with blood surrounding his eye and very upset that referee Martin Atkinson did not punish the visiting defender, choosing instead to allow play to continue.
It capped off a bad week for the former Manchester United man who required lengthy medical treatment.
