Agüero was seen to square up to security guards and a police officer at the tail end of the match on the South Coast and the constabulary later took a statement from a Bournemouth steward who claimed he has been on the receiving end of a punch from the City striker during the visiting side’s celebrations after Sterling’s 97th-minute decider. After the goal, Agüero and his teammates made for the stands and the ground’s security contingent were forced to intervene.
Sterling was sent off for his over-exuberant reaction to hitting the back of the net and the game finally ran into a 100th minute after the restart due to the incidents following the goal.
