Manchester City 3-1 Arsenal: Sergio Aguero fires Citizens to within two points of Liverpool with hat-trick against Gunners
Sergio Aguero bagged a hat-trick as Manchester City beat Arsenal 3-1 and closed the gap on title rivals Liverpool.The Argentine scored inside the opening minute for the second consecutive game, stooping low to fire a header past Bernd Leno after sloppy play from Alex Iwobi.
4Sergio Aguero was the hat-trick heroBut after a frantic ten minutes, the Gunners were level as Laurent Koscielny replicated Aguero’s opener with a diving header of his own.And just as the visitors began to grow into the game, Aguero rounded off a beautiful City move on the stroke of half-time to give his side the lead.He completed his treble of tap-ins with a rather fortuitous third – Leno palmed the ball into the striker’s arm and watched in agony as the ball just trickled over the line. The comfortable victory moves Peo Guardiola’s men to within two points of Liverpool ahead of the Reds’ tricky trip to West Ham on Monday night.The Newcastle loss clearly stung City and they got off to a blistering start as Aguero, who struck after 24 seconds at St James’ Park, again scored in the first minute.The opportunity came after Aymeric Laporte, who started at left-back while Fernandinho dropped into central defence, robbed Alex Iwobi on the egde of the area.
4Aguero bagged a treble of tap-insLaporte pushed forward and clipped in an inviting cross for Aguero, who got between two defenders to meet the ball with a powerful diving header.Arsenal were fortunate to escape further damage in what proved a shoddy opening 10 minutes.Shkodran Mustafi appeared to trip Aguero in the area as the Argentinian raced on to a fine ball from Kevin De Bruyne, but referee Martin Atkinson gave nothing. The officials also correctly disallowed a Laporte header for offside and Raheem Sterling brought a good save from Bernd Leno.
4The striker scored his tenth Premier League hat-trickThe Gunners may have feared a long afternoon, but they stunned City by hitting back on 11 minutes after winning a corner form their first attack. Lucas Torreira whipped in a low cross, Nacho Monreal flicked on and Koscielny headed home from close range.The game could not continue at that frantic pace and settled to a more modest tempo, but with City continuing to dominate possession. Nicolas Otamendi tested Leno at the end of one good move, but Arsenal also posed a threat, with Sead Kolasinac lashing an effort wide and shooting at Ederson. Torreira also had a fierce strike blocked.
4City moved to within two points of LiverpoolCity regained the lead just before the break as their passes once again started to cut through. Ilkay Gundogan floated a delicate ball into the box for Sterling and his low volleyed cross left Aguero with a simple tap-in.De Bruyne then shot across goal as City looked to kill off the game and the Belgian was also denied by Leno early in the second half.The decisive blow came as Aguero completed his hat-trick just after the hour, although it was hardly the purest of strikes from the Argentinian. Once again, however, the striker was simply in the right place when it mattered as Sterling delivered a fine low ball from the left. Leno did get a touch, deflecting the ball onto the arm of the sliding Aguero, but, such was his momentum, it carried over the line.Arsenal complained he handled, but the goal was given.Thereafter it became a case of damage limitation for Arsenal and Leno made good saves from Aguero and David Silva.
Sergio Aguero bagged a hat-trick as Manchester City beat Arsenal 3-1 and closed the gap on title rivals Liverpool. The Argentine scored inside the opening minute for the second consecutive game, stooping low to fire a header past Bernd Leno after sloppy play from Alex Iwobi.
