Manchester City 5-1 Leicester City: 5 Talking Points

Manchester City v Leicester City - Premier League
Back to their terrorizing, destructive best

#1 A vintage Sergio Aguero display

Manchester City v Leicester City - Premier League
Back in the hunt for the golden boot

An average first-half display turned into a mammoth goalscoring feast. Only an elite bunch of players can change their fortunes like this in a matter of minutes. And Sergio Aguero's performance against Leicester fits the bill perfectly.

After a not-so-happening first 45 minutes, Aguero turned on the heat in the second interval and produced arguably his best display of the season.

His first three goals were the type of goals that we have grown accustomed to being scored by the Argentine. But his fourth was a touch of brilliance! Aguero received a pass at least 25 yards from goal and unleashed a blinder of a shot that rattled the upright and went straight in.

The striker has scored for fun at the Etihad this season. His four-goal haul against Leicester was the seventh game running where Aguero had netted a goal at the Etihad. In those seven games, the Argentine has scored an astonishing 14 goals.

Also, he is now level with Mohamed Salah on 21 league goals, just two behind leader Harry Kane. From nowhere, Aguero has made the golden boot a three-way race with the Argentine looking to reclaim a prize, which according to many, belongs to him.
