The Belgian was laid-off once, moments once being reserved for a foul on Sergio Aguero, he tripped Argentina and so, in clear read of referee Martin Atkinson, confronted him by pushing his forehead towards the city forward who fell.

Then came Fellaini's minute of madness, as he lost his cool and left the referee with no various however to send him off.
Sensing the prospect of a late winner against 10-man United, Guardiola brought on Brazilian striker archangel jesus, who has not compete since breaking a metatarsal in his foot against Bournemouth on Feb. 13.
The move nearly paid off once jesus, who had been roared onto the sector, fantastically angular a header past de Gea from AN Aguero cross and raced off in celebration.
But the hassle was justly dominated out for offsides, going city annoyed and United a bit eased.
