Manchester City beat Fulham 5-1 in the Premier League at the Etihad but they needed a controversial goal on the stroke of half-time to go in ahead.
Manchester City's stand-in boss Juanma Lillo said Nathan Ake's controversial goal that gave the Blues a half-time lead against Fulham was right to stand and was more of a goal than the one Sheffield United scored against them last week.
Referee Michael Oliver consulted his linesman and gave the goal and a VAR check also concluded Akanji wasn't interfering with play. Fulham's players briefly refused to restart the game as they protested to Oliver and boss Marco Silva was furious on the touchline.
