MAX Power played a pivotal role as Wigan sensationally dumped megabucks Man City out of the FA Cup. Luckily for his little lad, the City stars didn’t hold it against him!
Power, 24, was clattered by Fabian Delph shortly before halftime in Monday’s clash at the DW, prompting referee Anthony Taylor to produce a debatable red card.
After tempers frayed on the touchline, a goal from Will Grigg then ended Pep Guardiola’s dreams of an unprecedented quadruple.
Luckily for Max Junior, who idolises Sergio Aguero, the controversy was quickly forgotten as he got to meet his Premier League heroes.
“Max is five and football-mad,” explained Power. “Normally, he can’t go to night games, but it’s half-term at the moment so he was allowed a late night.
“He even managed to get himself on the pitch during the invasion, then followed me down the tunnel and into the changing rooms.
“He was desperate to see Aguero and waited in the tunnel for him. He ended up getting his programme signed by loads of City players.
“Fair play to them – they all took the time to say hello and have a chat, even after they’d got beat.
