He had no intention to play the ball." Pellegrini's gripes did not end there. "The second foul was a clear push from Welbeck to Kompany once he'd cleared the ball with the header. The first goal was unbelievable that it continued and the referee didn't want to whistle. "I'm disappointed because they were two clear fouls. They were illegal goals and of course it cost us our victory," said Pellegrini, whose champions were anxious to hit back after a shock defeat by Stoke City before the international break. Pellegrini was frustrated by Clattenburg's failure to detect an apparent foul on Sergio Aguero shortly before Jack Wilshere's equaliser and also believed the official was at fault for not awarding a free kick when Danny Welbeck pushed Vincent Kompany in the build up to Alexis Sanchez's goal. By Tom Hayward LONDON - Manuel Pellegrini berated referee Mark Clattenburg and said his performance cost Manchester City victory after a breathless 2-2 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
