Brighton and Hove Albion defender Gaetan Bong said Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba ‘was clever’ in winning a penalty for his side at the Old Trafford on Saturday.
The midfielder went down in the box after tangling with the Cameroon international and referee Paul Tierney awarded a penalty which the French man dispatched for the Red Devils’ opener.
Marcus Rashford added the second goal to render Pascal Gross’ effort a mere consolation as Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s men claimed a 2-1 victory to extend their winning run to seven games under the new boss.
Although he accepted the referee's decision, Bong maintains the former Juventus midfielder went down too easily in the box.
