Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero scored four goals as they beat Leicester City 5-1 at the Ethihad Stadium.

The Citizens hit the ground running as early as the 3rd minute of the game when Raheem Sterling connected with a cross from De Bruyne to give them the lead.

That lead was cut short as Leicester main man Jamie Vardy controlled the ball 35 yards from goal and run pass City defenders before hitting it past Ederson to level the scores.

Leicester grew confidently into the game but the first half ended 1-1.

Man City had a quick and positive start to the second half as Aguero scored his first goal of the day and City's second.

De Bruyne the provider yet again. He passes the ball from the left right into the feet of Aguero who can't miss as he slots the ball past Schmeichel in the 48th minute.

Man City were 3-1 up in the 53 minute with Aguero and De Bruyne combining again.

It looked all over for Leicester at this point but Man City were hungry for more as Leicester defender Maguire played a pass to Schmeichel who plays the ball straight to Aguero who cleverly lifts the ball over his head and into the net to make it 4-1.

Leicester were easily beaten by Manchester City

Aguero had the final say in the game, not only his fourth goal but individually the best of the lot.

He controls the ball just outside the Leicester box before rifling a right-footed effort that cannons down off the Leicester bar and into Schmeichel's goal.

A tremendous strike and one that seals City's 23rd win of the season.
