Manchester City's Sergio Aguero to escape censure from FA
MANCHESTER CITY striker Sergio Aguero will not be punished by the FA for his two-footed challenge on Chelsea's David Luiz.
The Argentine was arguably lucky not to be sent off for his rash challenge on Luiz during City's 2-1 FA Cup semi-final win over Chelsea at Wembley yesterday.
The FA confirmed they would not take retrospective action, as their current rules suggest only off-the-ball incidents would vindicate a three match ban.
Though he wasn't injured during the tackle, Luiz has asked Aguero to apologise.
He said: "Aguero is a great player but he needs to be honest with himself and say, 'I don't like to do bad tackles'.
"Kids see the game and they want to see the good things and not the bad - I would apologise. Football is beautiful, but sometimes in games people have five seconds like that - I forgive him because I have a good heart. I don't like to beat people.
"Sometimes in a game people have five seconds when they are angry and do things they don't like to do. I think it was that.
"I never saw Aguero do a bad tackle on other players."
