MANCHESTER City striker Sergio Aguero has accused English referees of bias against foreign players in Premier League matches.
Aguero, who scored his first goal of the season to equalize against Fulham in City's 2-1 victory on Saturday, said home referees treated foreign players differently and were more likely to ignore them on penalty appeals.
He also said foreign players were more likely to be punished for penalties that should not be given.
His compatriots Pablo Zabaleta and Carlos Tevez both had penalty appeals turned down at Craven Cottage and asked after the match if foreign players had it tougher than English players, Aguero said: "Yes, always. It happens everywhere.
"Here in England, there are almost as many foreign players as English players and it's not right that some have a privilege that others don't.
"There is a little bit of privilege with players who come from that country. We just play our game, and the referee's job is to know who is tricking him and who is not," Aguero added.
