Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan accused Bruno Fernandes of play-acting for the disputed freekick that led to Manchester United's first goal in the Old Trafford derby.

Gundogan appeared to get the ball when he nipped in ahead of Fernandes in the first half, but United's new £68million signing went to ground appealing for a foul and referee Mike Dean agreed.

"There was frustration about the free kick before the goal," said Gundogan. "It was not a foul at all. I just touched the ball and he goes on the floor shouting.

"I don't even know if the referee saw it or just had a feeling that it was a foul. That was very disappointing for me, to be honest, because I was involved in the action and conceding the goal straight afterwards hurt very much. We tried hard after conceding the first one but it just wasn't enough."
