Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure would prefer to play “without a referee” in Thursday’s derby with Manchester United after criticising the standard of officiating in the FA Cup semi-final defeat by Arsenal.
Referee Craig Pawson ruled out Sergio Aguero’s first-half strike at Wembley.
Replays suggested the goal should have stood and City went on to lose the game 2-1 after extra time.
“I think the referees have to stop this,” said Toure.
“I am very disappointed. It is not the first time, there have been a couple of times.
“Maybe on Thursday we are going to have a better referee or maybe play without a referee – I’d prefer that.”
