Nicklas Bendtner has apologised for his
actions after he was pictured leaving a nightclub at 4am following
Arsenal's loss to Manchester United.
The Denmark international striker, 21, was pictured
leaving a London nightclub in the early hours of Wednesday morning
with his belt undone and jeans pulled down before being helped into
a waiting car.
Bendtner, who was a second-half substitute in Arsenal's 3-1 home
defeat to United, accepts it was "an error of judgement" to go out
partying after such a crushing loss.
"I love this club and was so disappointed to lose against
Manchester United last night," Bendtner said in a statement.
"Reaching a Champions League final is one of my biggest dreams
and getting knocked out was a massive blow. However, no matter how
disappointed I was, it does not excuse my behaviour later in the
evening.
"I may be young, but my actions were a poor error of judgment
and something I deeply regret.
"I want to apologise to the club and the fans for letting them
and myself down.
"I cannot change the past, but will learn from my mistakes.
"Tuesday night is behind me now and I want to use my energy to
fully focus on our three remaining games this season - starting
with Chelsea on Sunday."
