Manchester City 2-0 Chelsea: 5 Talking Points from the FA Community Shield match

#2 Sergio Aguero looks ready for the next season

Manchester City v Chelsea - FA Community Shield — Aguero scored both goals to round up a brilliant performance

Aguero had a disappointing World Cup campaign, where he scored two goal in five games, as Argentina were knocked out in the Quarter Finals by eventual Champions France.

But he seems to have put all the despondency behind and on Sunday, he showed the World what a brilliant player he is.

He instantly hit it off with Mahrez and his clever runs freed up the Algerian on quite a few occasions.

The first goal was a showcase of his finishing skills, as he had the composure and the awareness of the goalkeeper’s position, to put the ball beyond Caballero. It was his 200th goal for the club and he definitely is a City Legend.

His missed a great chance to double the lead when he was sent through and tried to round off the keeper but ended up hitting the side netting.

He continuously stretched the Chelsea defense and ultimately made up for his earlier miss, when he scored a fine second to take the game beyond Chelsea’s reach.

Pep will be delighted with his goals as well as his overall performance and Aguero will be raring to go in the new season.
