Jay-Z hit back at Noel Gallagher's criticism of his headlining Glastonbury slot by playing his own version of 'Wonderwall' on Saturday.

The Oasis guitarist had criticised the decision to allow Jay-Z to headline the event, saying it should stick to its traditional indie music roots.

The rapper responded by opening with an acoustic version of 'Wonderwall’ with Gallagher’s "Hip-hop at Glastonbury is just wrong" comments dubbed over the top.

He told the crowd: "So they say you guys didn't want me to be here tonight. They said you guys weren't into hip-hop. Thanks for all the love here tonight.

"This is a beautiful moment, I'm glad to share it with each and every one of you."

Jay-Z then performed a set that included ‘Big Pimpin’’, ’99 Problems’ and ‘Hard Knock Life’, as well as covers of Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’, Estelle’s ‘American Boy’ and Amy Winehouse’s ‘Rehab'.
