Aguero was then shoved by a steward before being led away by a police officer while he protested the steward's conduct. And Bournemouth have now confirmed that they will not be pursuing any action against Aguero and that "no assault took place". "AFC Bournemouth are aware of an alleged incident which occurred following Manchester City’s second goal at Vitality Stadium on Saturday," the Cherries' statement reads. "The club have been advised that due to a misunderstanding, an earlier statement alleging assault has been withdrawn and no assault took place."AFC Bournemouth recognises that stewards and police were carrying out their duties in preventing encroachment onto the pitch, with the safety of players and supporters in mind. "The club will make no further comment on the matter."Aguero had denied the assault in a tweet posted earlier on Saturday afternoon. "Great win today! On this story about their steward, I did not hit anyone, the accusation is false, and the TV pictures prove it," Aguero wrote.</blockquote>
