Manchester United Vs. Manchester City, FA Cup Semi-Final: Nigel De Jong Gives Nani Unfriendly Kick To The Face

More shenanigans at Wembley Stadium. Manchester United winger Nani tangles with City enforcer Nigel de Jong, both go to ground, and as more players pile into the fracas de Jong takes the opportunity to give his Portuguese opponent a nice little kick in the face with his studs. Mike Dean failed to see it and ignored Nani's protests - that would be his reputation biting him once again, I'd imagine.

We've also had our first shot and first corner of the match - Adam Johnson sending a low long-range effort well with of Edwin van der Sar's left post after a decent move found the England man in space, and then Nani did well to earn a corner at the other end of the pitch. Nothing came of it, butit has sent Manchester United onto the attack, and they're now quite happily camped out in the Manchester City half of the pitch.
