LONDON: Manchester City has crushed Chelsea 6-0 to be atop the Premier League points table on Sunday, after all Sergio Aguero scored a hat-trick. City were ahead 4-0 just 25 minutes into the first half. Only six minutes later, Aguero span to knock the ball past Kepa Arrizabalaga to make it 3-0.
In the 25th minute, Chelsea were 4-0 through Ilkay Gundogan’s low shot from the edge of the box after Sterling’s pass to Aguero had been poorly cleared by Antonio Rudiger. Aguero completed his 15th hat-trick for City in the 56th minute, when he coolly rolled home a penalty earned by Sterling after he had been tackled by Cesar Azpilicueta.
It was also Aguero’s 11th Premier League hat-trick, level with former Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer in pole position. Sterling sealed the victory by scoring his second from the close range in the 80th minute, handing Chelsea their biggest loss since they were defeated 7-0 by Nottingham Forest in 1991. (Agencies)
