It was Rihad Mahrez who started the goalscoring with both put 1-0 and 2-0 before even 25 minutes had been played. But it would be worse for relocation-threatened Aston Villa.

In the 28th match minute, Agüero set his first goal of the match to 3-0.

It through a cannon hit in the far intersection just outside the penalty area. After the goal, most of the home fans left the arena.

New record

Agüero was not finished there. In the 57th minute, he scored his second goal of the match at 5-0. That was his 176th goal in the Premier League, which means he is the league's best foreign scorer. The previous record had Thierry Henry with his 175 goals. With ten minutes left, the Argentine completed his hat trick.

Manchester City eventually won by 6-1 after Anwar El Ghazi reduced the stoppage time.
