Bellamy confronted a supporter who had run on to the Old Trafford pitch at the end of the game and appeared to push the intruder in the face.Greater Manchester Police are investigating the incident, while the Football Association have also confirmed they are looking into the matter.However, Bowen has defended the Wales international, who scored twice in the 4-3 defeat, and says there will be no disciplinary action taken against the striker."Craig had been our talisman on the day and brought us back into the game twice," he said."A goal had just gone in and Craig was going to the fella to say in no uncertain terms to get off the pitch."Obviously I can't quote exactly what he said but it was like 'Get off the pitch'. We were still in the game and it only takes a second to score a goal."My take is that he thought the fella might spit in his face or something."He came very close and moved towards him. Craig, with an open hand, just pushed the fella away."Asked if there would be any action taken by City against the striker, Bowen said: "No. I don't think there is any need to."Meanwhile, police have charged a 21-year-old man - Jake Joseph Clarke - with unlawfully running on to the pitch following the incident.
