Jones was sent-off after aiming a shove at Ilunga’s face and Bruce was angered by the way the Congolese defender went down.
Speaking on the BBC Bruce said, “Kenwyne's wrong - he's pushed him. We know the law of the game, but is there any need to go down the way he does?
"Then I see a medical man with an ice pack on his eye as if he's got battered. There's nothing there, he pushed him in the chest.
"All the theatrics, we don't want to see it. We've got a marvellous spectacle here and that's one thing we've got to guard against. We all know Kenwyne was wrong, I'm not going to try and defend it - however the boy's falling around the place as if he's been pole-axed. We don't want to see that.
"Referees have a difficult job but the players have got to look at themselves and say 'come on, we've got to stop this nonsense'. Feigning injury and rolling around the pitch when there's nothing wrong with you."
