    The first one would have had me fuming!

    What a complete fool.

    Stonewall penalty, can't believe Felaini had the brass neck to accuse Aguero of a dive. Ref missed one there.

    Decent penalty shout there too.

    Half time comes at a good time for United.

    That first one was ridiculous!

    That's something you would do when it's the 88th minute not in the first half!!

    ref is awful
    booked two united players when three city players made equally worse challenges
    had to send off smalling but then misses to easy penalties, the rojo challenge was so clear

    Well I could imagine the outrage if this game was been played at old Trafford!

    It's never worth expecting anything different from Michael Oliver.

    The game has to change,, there has to be someone watching a replay who can notify the ref for those decisions, otherwise we are going to be slating refs forever

    Its a tricky one isnt it

    If we look closely at the game:

    Hart should have seen red for putting his head in the refs face
    Smalling is gone for two yellow cards
    Rojo should have seen red and a pen awarded
    City should have had another pen
    City players should be on yellow cards

    So it would be 10 players v 9, and city having 2 pens

    it would have been a soft one, but there was contact and no attempt to play the ball.

    The other two were definite pens though.

    Finally City break the door down!

    Lethal finishing from Aguero once again.

    Credit to Clichy for the pull-back which found him perfectly.
