Millwall boss Rowett hits out at 'deceitful' Ayew, Swansea boss Cooper responds

Millwall boss Gary Rowett has criticised Andre Ayew for over-reacting during an off-the-ball incident in Saturday's Championship clash with Swansea City but the Ghanaian's boss Steve Cooper was quick to make a defence.

During the second half, Ayew went down screaming and writhing in pain in an incident with Millwall defender Jake Cooper.

Lions boss Rowett was clearly upset by the attacker's action and did not hesitate to call him out during the post-match conference.

"I've watched it [incident] back. They thought it was a blatant elbow, but as he goes across Coops [Jake Cooper], he runs into his arm," Rowett said after his side suffered a 2-1 away defeat at Liberty Stadium, Walesonline reports.
