David Luiz plays down Sergio Aguero's horror tackle on him as 'quite normal frustration'

David Luiz has brushed off his latest controversial clash with Sergio Aguero as late game frustration on the part of the Manchester City striker.

Aguero was sent off for a horrific stoppage-time tackle on Luiz as City were beaten 3-1 by the Premier League leaders at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

The incident sparked a bench-clearing brawl involving players and staff of both sides that also saw City's Fernandinho sent off and bookings for Chelsea's Nathaniel Chalobah and Cesc Fabregas.
