Manchester City leave it late as injury-time goal from Sergio Aguero earns 2-1 first-leg lead in Carabao Cup semi-final against Bristol City

MAN CITY 2, BRISTOL CITY 1

Sergio Aguero came off the bench to score a dramatic injury-time winner as Manchester City take a slender 2-1 lead to Ashton Gate for the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Bristol City.

City certainly needed one of their big guns to overcome a Bristol side that had already beaten four Premier League games in the knockout.

It was cruel on Lee Johnson’s Championship club that produced a heroic display and even spent 11 minutes either side of the break holding the lead through a Bobby Reid penalty.

City equalised through Kevin De Bruyne and had to summon Aguero and Kyle Walker in the latter stages in an effort to conjure a winner.

Manchester City’s FA Cup fortunes turn on controversial free kick against Burnley

MAN CITY 4, BURNLEY 1

Manchester City’s fortunes in their Emirates FA Cup, third-round win against Burnley turned on a controversial free kick.

City were 1-0 behind and had laboured for almost an hour before they equalised with a questionable goal.

If your allegiances were with City it was a stroke of genius, but for the Clarets it was anything but that.

Burnley were still lining up when Ilkay Gundogan took a quick kick and released Sergio Aguero who raced clear to score.

And while the Clarets were still reeling from that body blow, Aguero quickly added a second goal, his 18th of the season and a phenomenal 16 in 16 FA Cup ties for City.

Pep Guardiola hits out at chaotic festive schedule after Manchester City’s home win against Watford

MAN CITY 3, WATFORD 1

Goodness knows what the score might have been had Manchester City not taken their foot off the accelerator early in the game against Watford at the Etihad.

City could conceivably have been 4-0 ahead inside 17 minutes – they were two up – following a whirlwind opening in which they swept aside the visitors.

It was as though City were only playing in first or second gear for the remainder of the game as there was no way back for Watford.

In the end they triumphed with goals from Raheem Sterling, Christian Kabasele’s own goal and Sergio Aguero.

MAN CITY 4, AFC BOURNEMOUTH 0

It is a measure of table-topping Manchester City’s supremacy in the Premier League that they beat AFC Bournemouth with ease, despite playing nowhere near their best.

Yet it was another day of records as City became the first team in the Premier League era to score 100 goals in a calendar year as they moved 14 points clear of second-placed United.

City also made it 17 straight Premier League wins in a row to match Inter Milan who had the second best record in Europe’s top five leagues.

Sergio Aguero also scored his 100th goal for City at the Etihad.
