All the reports for the Everton match are saying the penalty was a Tim Howard OG.So this mean this is Sergios 1st penalty miss for city as he's not been credited with the goal
 
Re: Agueros penalty

It will go down as an OG under the rules. As much of the fuss that Hart gets, Howard had an awful game. Btw I think Yaya should be taking PK's. Dzeko has missed his last couple of PK's, and Aguero sold his too easily today.

I can't recall any other penalty being credited as an own goal, who makes this decision the ref or some official sat in the stands?
 
Re: Agueros penalty

It's because the ball was saved onto the post, then came back out and hit Howard. Unfortunayely has to go down as an own goal, because it wouldn't have gone in if it hadnt hit Howard again.
 
Re: Agueros penalty

Yep, if you have Aguero in your Fantasy Football team, you lost 2 points for the missed penalty too.

I remember this happening in a World Cup game once, and the goal going to Rooney (?) despite actually going in off the back of the goalkeeper.

Spot on (pardon the pun!).

Not a chance. The best penalty kick taker we have left at City after Mario's departure would be Milner followed by Kolorov.

Maybe even Negredo or Navas could be considered but never again can Dzeko, Silva or Aguero be trusted.

Yes Aguero's penalty may have eventually found the net, however only by 2 flaws, the first being that it hit the post, the second being Howard clearly read his open approach and right footed take which meant it was going only to his left. In retrospect however, I suppose we should be glad Howard read it so easily or he wouldn't have been there to head it in!

Previously Sergio has missed exactly how many penalties for City?
