(Reuters) - Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure is so disappointed with the standard of officiating in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final loss to Arsenal that the Ivorian would prefer to play Thursday's Manchester derby in the Premier League without referees.

During the 2-1 defeat, City's first goal was disallowed after match officials ruled that midfielder Leroy Sane's cross went out of play before striker Sergio Aguero headed it in, but video replays showed that the ball never crossed the line.
