Chelsea FC news: David Luiz speaks out after horror stoppage-time challenge from Sergio Aguero

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 an horrific stoppage-time tackle on Luiz, as City were beaten 3-1 by the Premier League leaders at the Etihad on Saturday.

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

Luiz and Aguero had clashed earlier in the game, with the Chelsea defender perhaps lucky to have escaped a red card himself after appearing to deny his opponent a goalscoring opportunity.
