Manchester City bagged their fifth win of the season in the Premier League in six games so far with a 5-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace, the side placed at the very bottom of the league table at the moment. The Citizens got their goals via Leroy Sane, Raheem Sterling, Fabian Delph and their talismanic striker Sergio Aguero, who scored his 176th goal for the Sky Blues since his arrival at the club in 2011.
The 29-year-old is one of the best strikers in Europe in the present situation, scoring on a regular basis for his side. He has been made more than 250 appearances for his side so far and has come up as their mainstay in the strike force over the last few years.
This season, he looks to be in prolific form, having scored six goals already in the same number of games and is placed at the top of the goalscoring chart, alongside the Belgian bombshell Romelu Lukaku. His approach has been absolutely awe-inspiring for the opposition defenders, as he decimates them with his sharp shooting and brilliant heading abilities.
It was speculated in the last transfer window that the player might head back to Spain to join the reigning Spanish La Liga champions Real Madrid, arch-rivals to his former club Atletico Madrid. However, the Argentine made it clear that he is going nowhere and has shown his intent to rampage the opposition in the Premier League as well as Champions League so far this season, scoring goals at will and keeping his side on the top of the leaderboard.
The 29-year-old has found it fairly easy to score in the Premier League, which has been one of the most intriguing football leagues in all over Europe. His brilliant footwork and ability to score goals from outside the box as well as from close range has made him a nightmare for the defenders over the years.
His new club manager Pep Guardiola has been a big fan of his abilities and has been looking to extract more from him in the forthcoming days as well. The Spaniard had a miserable season in the last term, which was incidentally his first one in the Premier League, and will be looking to make amends for it in this term.
The wily tactician is well aware of the fact that his success depends, to a good extent, on his handling of his resources, especially Aguero, whom he has to use wisely to keep up the winning run.
