The Pep Guardiola's team continues steadily towards the title and is 13 points ahead of the second-place team, Manchester United, which drew 2-2 against Leicester.
Agüero, who returned to the call-up after not being selected by his coach in the Cup, showed that he is still in shape and is one of the best forwards playing in the English League. It was his to handle all the important moments of the clash and he took care of ending the resistance of a team that never put up a fight.
In the first half, he opened the scoring with a perfect header to take advantage of a cross from Fernandinho from the left wing. Agüero threw himself in a diving header and opened a scoreline that, from that moment on, would always be in favor of City.
Then, in the early stages of the second half, he assisted Raheem Sterling for the second goal and scored the third when there were 12 minutes left in the match. Brazilian player Danilo joined the party with the fourth goal and, so far, Guardiola's team is having a perfect end to the year. Consolidated leader, with enviable numbers, nobody doubts his team. The record now stands at 17 consecutive victories.
Earlier, Chelsea could not overcome Everton (0-0). Italian coach Antonio Conte couldn't count on Spanish striker Álvaro Morata due to accumulation of yellow cards and his team felt his absence. They lacked a goal. They had almost all the chances of the match, but were not accurate in the final meters.
