Top football tweets: Aguero pays the penalty

Published on: 10 May 2021

Sergio Aguero had his tail between his legs.

Sergio Aguero ate humble pie, Chelsea Women are on for the quadruple and Mauricio Pochettino shows that you can take the man out of Tottenham, but you can't take Spurs out of the man.

Here are some of the best tweets from the weekend's football.

1. Aguero got too chippy View more on twitter

Sergio Aguero had an opportunity to once again be the man who scored the goal that sealed the Premier League title for Manchester City when he stepped up for a penalty against Chelsea. He did what any of us would have done in that situation and opted for an audacious dink.

The resulting save from Edouard Mendy - and Chelsea winning the match - left Aguero in contrite mood.

City have not had much joy from the spot this season.

Tottenham had a disappointing weekend as they were beaten 3-1 by Leeds United.
