The goal continued Aguero's astonishing goalscoring run, particularly at his Etihad home ground where he has now scored 30 goals in his last 24 league starts ― every one of them ending in a City victory. Inside 60 seconds, Aguero set up Kevin De Bruyne whose 20-yard shot flew just wide of the post and David Silva's teasing chipped cross soon played in Riyad Mahrez who hurried his shot over on the volley from six yards.The Algerian crossed for David Silva who struck the post with a skilful back-heeled flick and De Bruyne then volleyed over from 12 yards after Aguero's pass was deflected into his path.
Aguero received a defence-breaking pass from David Silva and saw a shot charged down by Angelo Ogbonna, leading to appeals that the ball had struck his hand.But club-record signing Mahrez, up against West Ham debutant Ben Johnson down City’s right, was having a particularly frustrating evening, straying offside too often for manager Guardiola's liking.
