Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney found an opportunity to poke fun at Prime Network presenter Alex Algoy during coverage of Newcastle's victory over Qarabag. The reason was that she was forced to abandon her high heels as they were damaging the grass pitch at St James' Park. "I need a pair of trainers, don't I?" she then said to Rooney, before adding: "Anyway, let's talk football, have we changed the subject?". Rooney had attended Everton's match against Manchester United and was sitting in the stands with his youngest son, witnessing the game's only goal scored by newcomer Ciceko. However, he was also present for Newcastle's win due to his contract with the network to analyze Champions League matches. The presenter commented: "I'm in socks because I chose to wear heels".
