In the Premier League match between Newcastle United and Manchester City, Foden was suspected of missing a penalty kick in the first half. Rooney, who was a guest on the BBC after the game, commented on the incident.

Rooney said: "I think this is a penalty kick. The referee may have considered that Foden had already kicked off before the contact, but Schaal's intervention had affected Foden's preparation for shooting before the contact occurred."
