Manchester City boss Mark Hughes has spoken out on defence of under-fire striker Craig Bellamy, who was involved in an on-pitch bust-up with a Manchester United supporter.
The Welsh striker scored two goals in City's resilient 4-3 loss to their cross-town neighbors, but after the game it is reported that a pitch invader attempted to confront Bellamy and proked a retaliation from the former Liverpool player.
Hughes told Sky Sports: "I did not see it but the guy should not have been on the pitch. That is not acceptable.
"I seem to recall Brian Clough clipping someone around the ear and he was lauded as a national hero. Maybe it will be the same case with Craig but I doubt it.
"I'm sure people will make a nuisance about it."
Hughes also confirmed substitute Javier Garrido was struck by a missile propelled from the Old Trafford crowd.
Asked whether he had been struck, Hughes said: "Apparently so. Something came from the crowd but he is okay."
