Rooney admitted that his team got careless after taking a 3-0 lead during half time against City, and expressed relief on winning the match, The Daily Mail reports.
''We knew it was going to be difficult, going 3-0 up, we maybe took our foot off the gas a bit.
City got two goals and we had to make sure we saw the game out and thankfully we managed to do that. Meanwhile, Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini accused Rooney of influencing the referee to get Vincent Kompany red carded in the 12th minute of the game.
