FC BASEL 0, MANCHESTER CITY 4
It was game just a quarter of way through this contest in Switzerland as Manchester City raced into a 3-0 lead within 23 minutes through goals by Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, and Sergio Aguero before Gundogan’s second half strike effectively put an end to tonight’s match, and perhaps the tie, with a 4-0 away victory at St Jakob Park.
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.
BRISTOL CITY 2, MANCHESTER CITY 3
(MAN CITY WIN 5-3 ON AGGREGATE TO GO TO THE FINAL OF THE CARABAO CUP)
There was a final flourish to this Carabao Cup semi final as Bristol City went into the final minute of injury time at the end of this contest still needing just one goal to force extra time before Kevin De Bruyne finally shut the door on the brave Robins who had played a full part in their two games against runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City.
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.
