'Pathetic' dive by Melbourne City's Neil Kilkenny

Melbourne City continued their solid start to the A-League season with a 2-1 win over Adelaide United at AAMI Park but the match was overshadowed by a 'pathetic' dive from defender Neil Kilkenny.

After getting into a fracas with Reds midfielder Isaias, Kilkenny dropped to the ground and rolled around theatrically after being lightly touched on the forehead.

Fox Sports pundit Mark Rudan described Kilkenny's conduct as 'disgraceful' and 'unsportsmanlike'.
