Sergio Aguero furiously denies he assaulted steward while celebrating Manchester City’s winner over Bournemouth
Dorset Police are investigating that the Argentine star struck the official after City's winner in seventh-minute of extra-time
SERGIO AGUERO has furiously denied he assaulted a steward in Manchester City's last-gasp win over Bournemouth.
The ex-Atletico Madrid striker was celebrating Raheem Sterling's goal when the incident is claimed to have happened.
Aguero tweeted this evening: "Great win today!
"On this story about their steward, I did not hit anyone, this allegation is false, and the tv pictures prove it. C´mon City."
Aguero and Benjamin Mendy were seen arguing with stewards and police.
A Bournemouth spokesman this afternoon confirmed to SunSport: "An allegation has been made by a steward that he was assaulted by Sergio Aguero and the Police have taken a statement."
But the club issued another statement later this evening saying that "no assault took place".
The statement read: "AFC Bournemouth are aware of an alleged incident which occurred following Manchester City’s second goal at Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
"The club have been advised that due to a misunderstanding, an earlier statement alleging assault has been withdrawn and no assault took place.
"AFC Bournemouth recognises that stewards and police were carrying out their duties in preventing encroachment onto the pitch, with the safety of players and supporters in mind."
