Manchester City v Chelsea - FA Community Shield
Match-winner, Sergio Aguero

The man who, dramatically, altered the course of the club's history with the last-minute winner in 2012 is still the main man at Manchester City, 6 years on. A cult hero with the faithful, Aguero has recently come under fire, particularly since Guardiola's arrival, with the manager opting to trust the youngsters more than the veteran forward.

He made it 201 goals for City, 560 in his career, after finding the net twice in the Community Shield fixture against Chelsea. The first, through some vintage finishing from the edge of the box, with his left. A touch to drag the ball across his body and a second to drill it into the far corner before doubling his tally after finding space between goalkeeper and the near post, when none existed, after being played in at the perfect moment by Bernardo Silva.

The weight on the ball was perfect but the finish was too, as the Argentine seemed to be back to his threatening best after a limp campaign with Argentina at the World Cup. If Gabriel Jesus thought he was going to start ahead of Aguero this season, he's still got some thinking to do.
