Sergio AGUERO and Robero PEREYRA sent off in England on Saturday

It was an uneventful day for Sergio AGUERO and Roberto PEREYRA and for all the wrong reasons.

During Manchester City’s English Premier League match against Chelsea, Sergio AGUERO got a straight red card (his second of the season) for a horrific kick out on David LUIZ. With the score at 3-1 for the visitors, AGUERO and David LUIZ went in for the same ball with AGUERO instead lashing out and tackling him resulting in a straight red card.

AGUERO could face disciplinary action with a 4 game ban (as opposed to a 3 game ban) as it is his second red card of the season.

Sergio AGUERO wasn’t the only Argentine getting red carded in England on Saturday as Roberto PEREYRA saw red for Watford in their 3-1 loss to West Brom. Claudio YACOB played the full 90 minutes for the winners.
