Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has been slapped with a four-match ban for violent conduct following his dismissal in their English Premier League match against Chelsea.

The Argentine was shown a straight red card for a two-footed lunge on centre back David Luiz.

As well as suspending Aguero, the English Football Association ruled Fernandinho will serve a three-game ban.

Aguero served a three-match suspension for violent conduct in September for elbowing West Ham's All Whites defender Winston Reid.
