Man City boss Pellegrini: I feared red card for Aguero

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini admits he feared a red card for Sergio Aguero during their draw at Arsenal.

Pellegrini revealed that he took Aguero off to save the Argentinian from being sent off.

"I was sure that Sergio would have been sent off in the next play.

"The referee gave him a yellow card and the next one it would be red. Sergio was very angry and he has all the reasons to be very angry because he was being fouled all the time."
