Aguero Stuns with Four Goals as City Crushes SpursAguero Stuns with Four Goals as City Crushes Spurs Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of a Champions League berth were dealt a devastating blow on Saturday as Sergio Aguero produced a masterful performance, scoring four goals to lead Manchester City to a resounding 5-0 victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Aguero opened the scoring in the 23rd minute with a clinical finish after being played through by Kevin De Bruyne. Just before the half-time whistle, he doubled the City lead with a thunderous strike from outside the box. The Argentine continued his onslaught in the second half, completing his hat-trick with a cool finish in the 62nd minute. His fourth goal, a stunning solo effort, came just eight minutes later, leaving the Tottenham defense in shambles. Ilkay Gundogan added a fifth for City in the dying minutes, but it was Aguero who stole the show. His four goals were his first in the Premier League since April 2019 and move him to within one goal of Wayne Rooney’s all-time record of 183 goals for Manchester City. The victory sees City move four points clear of Manchester United at the top of the table, while Tottenham remain in eighth place, six points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea. Post-Match Reaction: Pep Guardiola (Manchester City Manager): “Sergio is a special player. He showed today why he is one of the best strikers in the world.

He destroyed us.” Sergio Aguero: “I’m very happy to have scored four goals. It’s always special to do it against a great team like Tottenham. We have a big gap to close now, but we will fight until the end.” Key Statistics: * Aguero became the first player to score four goals in a Premier League match since Jamie Vardy in 2019. * City have now won six consecutive Premier League matches. * Tottenham have lost three of their last four league games.
