FA Might Charge Sergio Aguero

 

Sergio Aguero could face disciplinary action after appearing to elbow West Ham's Winston Reid. The incident occurred in the 76th minute of City's 3-1 win and Reid had to be substituted after receiving treatment.

The duo challenged for a long clearance from Hammers goalkeeper Adrian and Aguero swung his elbow towards Reid, apparently catching the side of his head or neck. Reid did not attempt to continue and was clutching his neck as he left the pitch, to be replaced by Jonathan Calleri.

Manchester City will now face a nervous wait to find out if referee Andre Marriner witnessed the incident and if, as seems likely, he did not, whether the FA decides to charge Aguero with violent conduct, which could lead to a three-match ban.
