WIGAN ATHLETIC 1, MAN CITY 0
Will Grigg was on fire as he ended Manchester City’s dream of the quadruple in one of the major Emirates FA Cup shocks of all-time.
Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering City were humbled by League One Wigan Athletic who progressed to the quarter finals thanks to a late goal from the Northern Ireland international.
Paul Cook’s minnows had already disposed of Premier League clubs Bournemouth and West Ham, but not many gave them much hope of claiming their biggest scalp yet.
MAN CITY 5, LEICESTER CITY 1
It was hard to find suitable superlatives to describe Sergio Aguero’s one-man demolition of Leicester City.
The Manchester City scored four of the goals as he continues to set records.
Aguero, who has 28 goals for the season, became only the fourth player to score 20 times in the Premier League in four successive seasons matching Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry and Harry Kane.
His total of 21 Premier League goals also drew level with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah with only Harry Kane ahead of them this season with 23.
MAN CITY 3, WEST BROM 0
Manchester City hardly had to break sweat as they stretched their lead at the top of the Premier League to 15 points.
West Brom, who won 3-2 at Liverpool in the Emirates FA Cup on Saturday, offered little threat as City made it 100 goals for the season in all competitions.
Goals from Fernandinho, Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero completed a stroll as City recorded a 13th straight win against the Baggies since 2012.
MAN CITY 3, NEWCASTLE UNITED 1
Sergio Aguero scored the perfect hat trick – left foot, right foot, header – as Manchester City returned to winning ways after losing their unbeaten Premier League record at Liverpool.
City swept past Newcastle United as Aguero inflicted the damage almost single-handedly against the club he cannot stop scoring against.
The last time Newcastle visited the Etihad, Aguero hit five in a 6-1 demolition and overall he has now netted 14 goals in 11 Premier League games against the Toon Army.
This was also Aguero’s 11th hat trick for City and second of the current campaign in which he has already scored 22 goals.
LIVERPOOL 4, MAN CITY 3
Manchester City won’t be invincibles after suffering their first Premier League defeat of the season at Liverpool.
But Pep Guardiola’s side almost pulled off a remarkable recovery as, 4-1 down with six minutes left, they appeared down and out.
Late goals from substitute Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan set up a pulsating finish in which Sergio Aguero so nearly scored an equaliser at the death on the ground where they have won only once since 1981.
This was City’s first domestic defeat since April when they lost at Chelsea while for Liverpool they are now unbeaten in 18 games in all competitions, their best run since Jurgen Klopp took charge.
