Plymouth’s 2-goal Cissokho: Rooney fantastic for me

Plymouth Argyle striker Ibrahim Cissoko praised manager Wayne Rooney after Friday’s win against Luton.

Cissoko struck twice in the 3-1 win.

About Manchester United legend Rooney, he said afterwards: “For me he is the perfect coach because he gives me the freedom to play.”

Rooney later replied: “He’s a fantastic player and he showed what he can do tonight when he came on.

“It wasn’t that easy to tell him he wasn’t playing.

“But I felt late in the game. I told him yesterday, ‘Just trust me, you’re going to come and win the game for us.’

“It’s always great as a manager when that happens and it turns out to be true.”
