It was a touch of class from the 28-year-old, who is entering his fourth season with Manchester United and has established himself as a starter under the reign of new manager Jose Mourinho.
He may, however, be facing a lengthy time on the sidelines follwing last weekend's game, with a back injury expected to rule him out for the next few weeks.
"I am going to lose Fellaini for a while. He has a muscle injury in his back and it is not good," said Mourinho.
When questioned about how long Fellaini was expected to be out of action, Mourinho replied: "I don't like to say that but it is bad."
Fellaini was set to link up with the Belgium national side ahead of their friendly against Spain on Friday morning (NZT) and their World Cup qualifier against Cyprus five days later.
His injury will allow opportunities for fellow midfielders Michael Carrick, Ander Herrera, and Morgan Schneiderlin to claim a spot in the Manchester United starting XI, alongside world record signing Paul Pogba.
