Bolton defender Tal Ben Haim was today cleared of a Football Association charge for allegedly over-reacting to being shoved in the face by Wayne Rooney.

Rooney was banned for three matches after admitting a charge of violent conduct following their clash at Old Trafford on Boxing Day.

Although the FA charged Ben Haim with improper conduct for his reaction to the incident, he denied the accusation and requested a personal hearing, at which he was cleared today.
