"The ball was swerving a bit, and it was unlucky for me because it was his first shot on goal," said Dudek. "I knew he was lining up the shot - I saw it all the way. I had a good view of it. I don't know what happened, but I believed it moved at the end.
"It didn't go through my hands, it went under them. It was impossible to catch the ball, so I was concentrating on trying to parry it to the side. We know what Wayne Rooney's like when he's out on the pitch, we know he likes to have a shot on goal.
"When he gets in space and gets it on his right foot you know he's going to have a go. He has a powerful shot, he only had one shot but that's all he needs.
"The manager was watching me after that to see how I performed, and I think I did okay. I think I was very unlucky, and when you concede a goal like that you can say you had much more to do than you did.
"I think with a bit of luck, perhaps, I should have kept it out. But the ball moved and I couldn't do anything about that."
