Pep Guardiola’s men are top of the Premier League once again following the match-wining exploits of their striker, who was vital in overturning the hosts’ early lead.
Sergio Aguero was the hero of Manchester City’s 2-1 Premier League victory at Burnley on Saturday, netting a brace either side of half time to secure a comeback win for Pep Guardiola’s men.
Dean Marney had put Eddie Howe’s hosts ahead in the 14th minute, who beat Claudio Bravo with an unstoppable volley after City failed to clear their lines from a free-kick.
But following Yaya Toure’s match-winning brace against Crystal Palace last weekend, it was Aguero’s turn to be decisive as he equalised with a close-range strike before the break.
And the Argentine struck again in the second half as Fernandinho laid the ball on for his team-mate to bury Burnley with another strike from inside the area.
Burnley, hindered by the loss of Marney and Johann Gudmundsson to injury, were unable to avoid a third loss at a typically vociferous Turf Moor this season despite a vast improvement from Monday’s 4-0 thrashing at West Brom.
