Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero was partly to blame for getting Marouane Fellaini sent off, said Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho after the two fought out a 0-0 draw in the Premier League on Thursday.
Belgian midfielder Fellaini was red carded by Martin Atkinson for headbutting Aguero six minutes from time after the City star got to his feet having just been fouled by the United player.

Mourinho conceded some of the fault lay with Fellaini but added Aguero was savvy enough to exploit the headbutt. "I didn't watch the Fellaini incident on TV but I spoke with Fellaini," he told Sky Sports.
"He thinks it was a red card because he is Fellaini. I spoke to Martin (Atkinson, referee) — he thinks it was a red card. I can guess it's a bit of a red card and a bit of a very smart, very experienced Argentinean player," Jose fumed.
