MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola refused to criticise striker Sergio Aguero for his dreadful failed attempt at a chipped penalty in Saturday's 2-1 Premier League defeat to Chelsea.

City had just taken a 1-0 lead when they were awarded a chance to make it 2-0 at the break after a penalty was awarded from Billy Gilmour's challenge on Gabriel Jesus in the box.
