Spitting claim: no charges for Rooney

EVERTON striker Wayne Rooney will not be charged after a woman claimed he spat in her face.

The 23-year-old woman claimed the England player spat at her during a night out at Manchester club Ampersand last month.

Rooney, 18, was interviewed by Greater Manchester Police and a file was passed to the Crown Prosecution Service to consider if there was sufficient evidence to charge him with common assault.
