The retired Argentine staked $8,065.65 on his former team's victory, which had odds of 2.47. He won $19,929.56 - more than double his initial stake.

Ivan Toney charged over betting

As reported by the Athletic, betting is forbidden for professional footballers as it could influence the outcome of a match. Passing information to others which could be used in betting is also prohibited.

Aguero is safe with his bets because he is no longer a professional, but Brentford striker, Ivan Toney is in trouble after being charged with 262 breaches of the FA's betting rules.

The English striker faces a lengthy ban if all the charges against him can be proven, as investigations into his alleged breaches continues.
