'It's his decision' - Guardiola refuses to criticise Aguero for Panenka miss

Pep Guardiola refused to criticise Sergio Aguero for his failed penalty in Manchester City’s 2-1 loss to Chelsea.

City were leading 1-0 when they were awarded a penalty on the stroke of half-time.

Aguero stepped up to face Edouard Mendy from 12 yards and was left red faced as his Panenka was read by the Chelsea goalkeeper who caught it one handed, with the Blues turning the match in their favour in the second half to delay City winning the title.
