Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero misses two penalties as Steaua Bucharest supporters shine laser in his face
ONE of the world's most prolific strikers Sergio Aguero has missed TWO first half penalties in Manchester City's Champions League clash against Steaua Bucharest.
He should have been in full confidence after scoring from the spot in Saturday's victory over Sunderland but instead his first was comfortable for keeper Florin Nita who dived to his right.
The striker was being targeted with a green laser on his run-up which could impacted his run up.
But the Argentinean had the chance to redeem himself when Aleksandr Kolorav was hacked down in the box a few minutes later.
With a longer run up, Aguero ballooned the ball into the stands much to the delight of the home fans - and despair of manager Pep Guardiola.
But his confidence obviously hadn't taken too much of a beating after bagging City's second with a wonderful finish before half time.
Raheem Sterling, who won City's first penalty, laid it off delicately into the path of Aguero who applied a clinical touch past Nita.
