Manchester City’s Argentine star Sergio Aguero took to social media to issue an apology to club’s fans after missing a penalty as Chelsea rallied from a goal down to beat City 2-1 in an EPL match on Saturday. 


Aguero attempted a cheeky, Panenka-style penalty which was easily saved by the Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. A win and the full three points would have ensured City reclaimed the coveted Premier League title. Instead Chelsea hit back with two goals, one each from Hakim Ziyech and Marcos Alonso to emerge victors.



Aguero wrote on Twitter: “I would like to apologise to my team-mates, staff and supporters for missing the penalty. It was a bad decision and I take full responsibility.” Aguero was severely criticised for his penalty kick was a slow chip directed towards the centre of goal.
