Mark Allen hits out at Ronnie O'Sullivan for lack of 'respect' after Judd Trump 147 in final

Mark Allen Ronnie OSullivan Stephen Hendry Champion of Champions

Mark Allen was among the snooker stars unimpressed by Ronnie O'Sullivan's apparent lack of sportsmanship after Judd Trump's magical 147 break.

Trump struck a wonderful maximum break when 6-1 down against O'Sullivan in an enthralling Champion of Champions final in Bolton. The 2019 world champion Trump produced the moment of inspiration to give himself a glimmer of hope in a final that had looked increasingly one-sided.

World No.1 and seven-time Crucible king O'Sullivan ultimately claimed his fourth Champion of Champions title with an imperious showing in Sunday evening's climax. But the Rocket has been accused of a lack of 'respect' by Northern Irish star Allen after failing to come forward and congratulate Trump for his seventh career 147.
