In the celebrations for United’s goal, an object thrown from an area where Manchester City fans were sitting hit Lindelof in the face, causing him to fall to the floor. Video footage appeared to show it was a lighter that had been thrown.
Fernandes and Casemiro appeared to both take issue with the crowd while a number of other United players made referee Paul Tierney aware of what had happened.
Lindelof was fine to continue the game after a brief pause. The FA is yet to comment on the incident.
While on punditry duty for the BBC, Peter Schmeichel commented on the incident, saying: “That is so wrong. That’s bad.
“I’m not blaming Manchester City - it is somebody - but we are at the Manchester City end, they were celebrating in front of the Manchester City supporters, and they should be big enough, they’re winning enough, to understand it’s okay to go 1-1.
“They shouldn’t react like that. That is terrible, it should have consequences. I hope they find the guy, whoever did that.” Alan Shearer, also on the pundits panel, added: “We don’t want to see that.”
