Panenka pain
Aguero s Panenka nightmare was the fourth penalty City have missed in the 2020-21 Premier League season.
As well as Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Raheem Sterling have all fluffed their lines from the spot, with City surprisingly wasteful when presented with an opportunity from 12 yards out.
4 - Manchester City have failed to score more penalties than any other side in the Premier League this season. They re the first side to miss 4+ penalties in consecutive Premier League campaigns since Tottenham Hotspur in 1993-94/1994-95. Bewildered. #MCICHE OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) May 8, 2021

With City leading 1-0 in first-half stoppage time and knowing victory would secure them - and Aguero - a fifth Premier League title, the former Atletico Madrid man was handed the ball after Billy Gilmour fouled Gabriel Jesus inside the penalty area.
But when his attempted Panenka looped into the arms of visiting goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, Aguero could do little to hide his embarrassment.
He shuffled away sheepishly, apologising Senegal international Mendy as he did, and would no doubt have spent the half-time break saying sorry to his team-mates too. I would like to apologise to my team-mates, staff and supporters for missing the penalty. Aguero wrote on Twitter post-match. It was a bad decision and I take full responsibility.
They had a golden opportunity to double their lead moments later when they were awarded a penalty.
Referee Anthony Taylor pointed to the spot after Billy Gilmour fouled Gabriel Jesus inside the box.
Aguero, who has suffered from numerous injuries this season, stepped up.
The veteran forward looked confident and he had the audacity to produce a Panenka penalty.
Unfortunately for him, he was left humiliated as Edouard Mendy stood his ground and easily gathered Aguero s strike.
Chelsea would go on to produce a second half fightback to win all three points.
Hakim Ziyech restored parity in the 63rd minute and Marcos Alonso s strike in stoppage time gave Chelsea the victory.
