Sergio Agüero continued to write his name into the record books as Manchester City dominated Aston Villa 6-1.

Manchester City came out guns blazing, taking a 4-0 first half lead before finishing off a 6-1 win against Aston Villa.

Riyad Mahrez quickly grabbed a brace, but the day’s headlines will be dominated by Sergio Agüero, who became the highest-scoring foreign goalscorer in Premier League history while also sealing a record-breaking 12th league hat-trick.

The iconic Argentinian forward is one of the greatest English football has ever seen, and with nine wins in their last ten with Aymeric Laporte nearing a return to full fitness, City appear to be back to their very best heading into the most crucial part of the season. With the win, City finally overtook Leicester to second spot in the league
