UK Back Pages: Chelsea Hailed, Wayne Rooney Apologises for Dive

Even on a day when Chelsea earned a vital away goal in a 1-1 draw with PSG in their Champions League clash in Paris, the ongoing row involving Wayne Rooney's dive is still making headlines. 

But Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic-inspired draw at the Parc des Princes made plenty of headlines as well.

In Mirror Sport, Rooney apparently apologised to the Preston North End goalkeeper for the dive after the match, and Sam Allardyce could be nearing an exit at West Ham.
