The Argentine failed to take advantage of his opportunity, instead spooning the ball straight at the grateful Edouard Mendy..

Manchester City may be cruising to the Premier League title, but Pep Guardiola’s men could do with working on their penalties.

Sergio Aguero made a hash of his Panenka effort on Saturday, spooning the kick straight into the arms of Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.

It was a surprising slip from the usually unerring Argentine, but it was in keeping with a torrid season for the Premier League leaders from 12 yards out and contributed to a 2-1 defeat that prevented City from claiming the title.

He has now apologised for his miss

I would like to apologise to my teammates, staff and supporters for missing the penalty. It was a bad decision and I take full responsibility.
