Police have taken a statement from
a steward who alleges that Sergio
Aguero hit them during the goal
celebrations at the end of
Bournemouth’s defeat to
Manchester City.
Aguero was part of a group of City
players who ran over to celebrate
Raheem Sterling’s match winning
goal with their travelling contingent
in the East Stand.
Sportsmail understands that footage
exists of the incident and that the
Vitality Stadium steward reported it
after the match.
A City source insisted they had seen
footage of the alleged incident and
claim that Aguero will not have a
case to answer.
Sterling was sent off for a second
yellow card for jumping into City’s
supporters as a skirmish broke out
in that corner of the ground.
Emotions were running high after
Pep Guardiola’s side scored a
second goal, having fallen behind to
Charlie Daniels’s first-half strike, in
the seventh minute of stoppage
time.
The fourth official had indicated
five minutes of added time and
referee Mike Dean was booed
around the stadium by
Bournemouth’s supporters for
allowing more.
