‘Sorry’ Bendtner caught with pants down

NICKLAS BENDTNER has apologised for his behaviour following Arsenal’s Champions League defeat to Manchester United.

The Denmark international striker, 21, was pictured leaving a London nightclub at 4am Wednesday morning with his belt undone and jeans pulled down before being helped into a waiting car.

Bendtner, who was a second-half substitute in Arsenal’s 3-1 home defeat to United, accepts it was “an error of judgment” to go out partying after such a crushing loss.

“I love this club and was so disappointed to lose against United last night,” Bendtner said.

“Reaching a Champions League final is one of my biggest dreams and getting knocked out was a massive blow. However, no matter how disappointed I was, it does not excuse my behaviour.

“I may be young, but my actions were a poor error of judgment and something I deeply regret.

“I want to apologise to the club and fans for letting them and myself down. I cannot change the past, but will learn from my mistakes.

“Tuesday is behind me now and I want to use my energy to fully focus on our three remaining games.”
