Sergio Aguero was sent off along with teammate Fernandinho in Manchester City’s disappointing 1-3 loss to Chelsea
The Argentine once again showed how he can lose his temper when he has had a frustrating game, with an unforgivable challenge on David Luiz. Aguero, who was chasing down the ball after a poor touch, leaped in with his studs high in the air and Luiz was lucky the Manchester City striker did not make the contact he intended to or there is no saying how severe an injury the Brazilian defender could have suffered.
The fracas that followed resulted in Aguero’s teammate Fernandinho also being dismissed after repeatedly grabbing Fabregas – who to his credit did not react – and pushing the Spaniard to the floor.
One user posted a helpful video of the entire incident :

Aguero will now get a four match ban for his second red of the season. #MCFC

If Diego Costa did what Aguero did today, the whole football world would call for his head…

Why does Aguero hate Luiz? pic.twitter.com/dzgBzg5m5t

Absolutely disgusting that from Aguero. Career ender.

Aguero sent off for an INSANE challenge on David Luiz. That's a potential leg-breaker. That's absolutely disgraceful.

Aguero’s overall performance was quite poor as well, and Chelsea fans felt this proved that their striker is a much better player :
YOUR JUST A POOR DIEGO COSTA, POOR DIEGO COSTA, YOUR JUST A POOR DIEGO COSTA! Not the first time Aguero has done that to Luiz!

Aguero finally receives the red card he should have had in the Community Shield years ago. What a disgusting player. Poor man’s Costa.

Hope the media doesn't ignore how well Costa scored, didn't get in fights and Aguero goes in for full speed career ending challenges

Costa gets a goal and assist.
Aguero misses tap ins and gets sent off with one of those fittest fouls I've ever seen.
The difference.— Ben (@CriminalCosta) December 3, 2016
And Twitter being Twitter, there were no shortage of trolls around, especially after the altercation between Fabregas and Fernandinho :

Wenger: Thanks for getting Aguero and Fernandinho suspended
Fabregas: No problem, can I come back now?
Wenger: Sorry wrong number

Look at Fabregas. He's even assisting a red card. What a player
