The Press Association have made available a photograph that appears to show Craig Bellamy of Manchester City involved in an altercation with a supporter after the Citizens' defeat in the Manchester derby.

The match ended 4-3 at Old Trafford, Manchester United's Michael Owen seeing to it that Craig Bellamy's two-goal haul was rendered meaningless.

The fiery Welshman had twice netted the equaliser to make the game 2-2 and then 3-3, the latter goal coming just before stoppage time began.

What caused the potential altercation, as well as the circumstances around this image, are not yet known.

In another off-pitch flashpoint, Javier Garrido of City was apparently struck by a missile thrown by a United fan at half-time.

But the Bellamy incident as yet remains unclear, with only this image below as yet released to the public.

Whether or not this incident overshadows Bellamy's effervescent two-goal performance remains to be seen.

It's unfortunate what the referee did. Awarding phantom free kicks and adding time from space. I used to look down on Globacom premier league's officiating but i won't do so anymore. I really feel bad for Mancity cos what happened is worse than the disallowed Tottenham goal of a few season's ago.
I promise to start watching the Nigerian league from now on.
