It all took place in the early minutes when referee Daniele Orsato sprayed some foam on the pitch ahead of a free-kick for the visitors.
Orsato bent over to draw the line and accidentally headbutted Walker on his way up.
The impact wasn’t severe but it did sting a little as the official held his head before immediately apologising to the Citizens’ full-back.
However, the England international, who was a last-minute addition to Pep Guardiola’s starting line-up following an ankle injury, apparently didn’t feel a thing.
