Manchester City 4-1 Brighton: 5 players who won the Premier League for Pep Guardiola

#2 Sergio Aguero

Brighton & Hove Albion v Manchester City - Premier League

The Argentinean had been fantastic for City this season and Guardiola needed him to be in full flow in the final game of the season. Aguero started the game under close attention from the home defense and looked extra dejected when Brighton took the lead. However, it was how well he reacted that ultimately set the tone for the game.

As soon as City restarted the game after going a goal down, Aguero knew what he had to do. Within a minute, he had done exactly what Pep had put him on the pitch to do. In the 28th minute, the Argentinean slipped past his marker and beat the offside trap to receive a splendid ball from David Silva.

With the goalkeeper rushing up to close him down and two more defenders in his tail, Aguero had to think fast. His instincts were superb, as he slid the ball through the legs of the onrushing keeper and brought City back into the tie.

It was the defining moment of the game, it was a statement that City were not going down without a fight. It was the perfect shot in the hand that this City team needed and ultimately, it kickstarted the comeback that won the game.
