ANOTHER season, another Sergio Aguero goal haul. The Manchester City striker has scored in every game of the new Premier League campaign, helping himself to two in his side’s meeting with Brighton on Saturday. 

The brace took him to a total of six goals in four league games and to the top of the goalscoring charts.

City manager Pep Guardiola said his striker “will die scoring goals,” and at 31 the Argentinian is showing no sign of letting up.

The strikes were sandwiched between goals from Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva, the latter scoring just 20 seconds after coming off the bench. 

Aguero’s first was smashed into the back of the net from close range, and the second powered into the top corner from outside the area. He can score all types of goal and always does so emphatically.

Guardiola was also pleased with another of his players after the 4-0 win, heaping praise on Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez.

“He played in our first game of the season and was the best player,” said Guardiola.

“He has something special. I’m happy for him because what I like the most from Riyad is he likes to play football.

“At training he is the first to take a ball and play, and that means a lot.”

The Catalan boss said it sometimes feels unfair to leave players such as Mahrez out of the team, but he has such a strong squad at his disposal, he regularly has to make tough decisions.

An area where in which City supposedly lack depth is centre-back. Aymeric Laporte picked up a knee injury in the first half on Saturday, which looked like it could keep him out for some time, meaning midfielder Fernandinho had to play 53 minutes in defence.

Guardiola later confirmed that he will have John Stones available for the trip to Norwich after the international break.

Being able to bring in a £50 million England international suggests the depth in this position might not be as bad as it is made out to be, and City will remain as strong at the back as they are up front where Aguero continues to prove he’s the best around.
