Yasin Ayari's first-half goal made the difference at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, 31 October, with Enzo Maresca's side unable to hit back.
The first incident occurred just before half-time, with Elliot Anderson's attempted pass deflecting off Vuskovic's outstretched arm inside the area.
Lewis Dunk innocent, but Luka Vuskovic guilty
There were then calls against Dunk, who clearly blocked Iliman Ndiaye's cross, but each of his arms were in a natural position and not outstretched.
"The reason this is not a penalty kick, in my opinion, is it looks as though it's hit the knee and come to the arm possibly," he said.
"In either case, let us assume that it's come off the naturally positioned arm. There's little he can do. And therefore, that's not a penalty kick for me.
"I'm nailed on. I think the other one, I actually think he goes for it. I think his arm's already way out, stretched out horizontally; it cannot be any wider.
"I'm looking, was it deflected? Was there sufficient distance for him to withdraw his arm? There was no indication that he was going to withdraw his arm or make a movement.
