Mueller sorry for horror tackle

Thomas Mueller has apologised for his kung fu-style kick to the head of Ajax defender Nicholas Tagliafico which saw the Germany star being sent off in Wednesday's six-goal thriller in Amsterdam. "No, no - of course I didn't mean to do it," the 29-year-old told reporters. Mueller said he went to the hosts' changing room to apologise to Tagliafico after the match, but the defender, who scored the home side's 95th-minute equaliser, had already left.  However, the German did offer an apology on Twitter after the game, saying that he was sorry for the accident and clearing that he intended no harm.
