On the replay, it shows the steward intiating physical contact. I hope he gets done for assault. Good on ya Sergio for trying to help one of our fans they were mugging.

Check out the video in this article. Shows that the allegation is totally bogus and utterly bullsh*t. Zero evidence of any 'assault' by Agüero in that video - after the steward pushes Sergio away forcefully he does appear to touch the guy but it is hardly classes as being 'struck' by the player.
The guy in the fluorescent jacket that rushes into the shot is a police evidence gatherer with a video camera. He will have been focused on the events on the ground but it may throw some light on matters
The steward should be ashamed of himself though. Pathetic attempt to get the City player into trouble. Probably a supporter of Bournemouth who has decided to wreak some retribution for the last minute goal.

Let's hope that puts the whole thing to bed but it was not issued soon enough to prevent it headlining the Sunday papers and casting a slur on the player.
My interpretation of that statement is that the club have realised it is totally bogus and that the steward struck out quite forcefully first.
The Telegraph is a fine example of what we can expect to see tomorrow

It gets worse for me in relation to the allegations made by the steward because of what happens prior to the incident with Sergio.
Watching the footage on MotD (from about 15 minuts into the programme) when they are discussing the incident. They show the melee looking out onto the pitch and you can see the steward later involved with Sergio in the midst of the fans, police and players. Large, blond haired guy wearing an orange tabard and initially facing the camera. There is a moment player's disengage and Fernandinho is moving away from the throng when that steward reaches out with his right arm, grabs the back of Fernandinho's shirt and drags him BACK into the crush. I have taken stills from the tv and will try and attach them but may have to do something to get them within the size limit if they won't upload.
Either way it is something which should be looked at by AFC Bournemouth.

Non red top leading (after the rugby) with the Sterling dismissal and PG's incomprehension. Small photo of Aguero followed by the news that the Cherries will not be pursuing the incident.
