Sergio Aguero punches fan after Manchester City’s FA Cup defeat to Wigan

Sergio Aguero punched a fan in a heated altercation on the pitch after Manchester City’s defeat to Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup on Monday evening.
Pep Guardiola’s hopes of winning the quadruple this season have ended after Will Grigg’s late goal sealed victory for the League One club at the DW Stadium.
At the final whistle, Wigan fans ran onto the pitch to celebrate with their players.
But Aguero lashed out at one supporter after he was approached as he headed towards the tunnel.
The Argentine striker struck the fan with his right arm but was then restrained by Wigan defender Cheyenne Dunkley and a member of City’s coaching staff as he tried to get closer to the man.
Aguero was then led down the tunnel by Guardiola’s assistant Mikel Arteta.
‘It’s not right, is it? It’s not correct, Player safety is paramount,’ Wigan boss Paul Cook said on Aguero’s altercation.
City are also facing a charge from the Football Association after their supporters rioted in the stands after the defeat to Wigan.
A heavy police presence was required to contain the agitated City fans, who threw an advertising hoarding towards the pitch which struck an officer.
