The Manchester City striker's hand influences a game's final score for the second consecutive time.

Argentine striker Sergio Aguero has made a habit of using his hand when scoring goals nowadays, it seems.

Currently the English Premier League's leading goalscorer with 12 strikes in 11 games, the Manchester City ace was guilty of a handball in the build-up to his first goal in the 2-2 draw at QPR last Saturday, albeit it was unintentional.

And on Wednesday, in a friendly encounter between La Albiceleste and Croatia at West Ham's Upton Park stadium, another unintentional handball saw his nation triumph over Vatreni 2-1.

After going down 1-0 to a surprise Anas Sharbini goal after only 11 minutes of play, Gerardo Martino's men pulled level thanks to a long-range volley from Cristian Ansaldi four minutes into the second-half.

However, despite being awarded the goal, a closer look into the 28-year-old Atletico Madrid defender's strike showed that the ball took a deflection off of Aguero's elbow before finding its way into the back of Croatia's net.

Despite protests from Croatia goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic, match official Andre Marriner let the goal stand. Eight minutes later, the Balkan nation were undone by captain Lionel Messi, as the Barcelona superstar converted a penalty after Sergio Aguero was brought down in the box by the 24-year-old custodian, to seal three points for the World Cup runners-up.
