'It was a bad decision': Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero apologises after his panenka penalty miss costs Pep Guardiola's side in their bid to seal the Premier League title

Sergio Aguero has apologised after his costly penalty miss against Chelsea at the Etihad on Saturday.

Manchester City would have secured the Premier League title had they won the match, but after Aguero's penalty miss were pegged back first by Hakim Ziyech, then Marcos Alonso in stoppage time.

Raheem Sterling gave the hosts the lead just before the break, and moments later the Argentine striker could have doubled the advantage but chipped an impudent, casual panenka down the middle and goalkeeper Edouard Mendy saved with ease.
