Manchester City 3 Burnley 0: Aguero Equals City Record As Pep Guardiola’s Men Surge Five Points Clear

Sergio Aguero equalled Manchester City’s all-time goalscoring record as they beat Burnley to go five points clear at the top of the Premier League.Aguero’s first-half goal, a controversial penalty, was his 177th for the club and brought him level with Eric Brook’s total, as well as sending City on their way to an 11th straight win, equalling another club record.City boss Pep Guardiola gave Aguero a warm embrace when the Argentina striker came off to a standing ovation late on. “Aguero should pay a tribute to us – he should invite us to dinner,” Guardiola joked. “He needs one more goal and it is going to happen sooner or later. It will be something special and it is so important for him to be the top scorer in the history of this club. We are happy that we will have that moment with him.”Otamendi rose highest from Sane’s corner to power a header into the corner, despite the presence of Steven Defour on the post. Sane galloped on to a precise through ball from Kevin de Bruyne to score City’s third goal, their 20th in their past four home Premier League games.City, two points clear before the game, extended their lead over second-placed Manchester United, who lost 2-1 at Huddersfield Town.Photo Credit: Getty
