Wayne Rooney blames Aston Villa FANS for nightmare opening minutes against PSG - as he claims supporters were responsible for high pressing that left defence open

Wayne Rooney has blamed Aston Villa's fans for their side's poor start to their Champions League second leg clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

Villa had to overturn a two-goal deficit going into the game, having lost 3-1 in Paris last week against arguably what has been Europe's most in-form side of the last few weeks.

After a bright first few minutes, though, they cam undone, falling first to Achraf Hakimi's goal before fellow full back Nuno Mendes netted his second goal of the tie to put the visitors 5-1 up on aggregate.
