Pep downplays Aguero row: I 'love him a lot'

MANCHESTER, England -- Pep Guardiola has played down his touchline row with Sergio Aguero by insisting he still loves the Manchester City striker.

Guardiola and Aguero appeared to have a heated exchange after the Argentinian was substituted in the 66th minute of the 2-2 draw with Tottenham but the City boss insisted the issue had only been caused by a misunderstanding.
