The Argentine struck his historic 178th
goal for City, which took him past Eric Brook’s landmark, in the 69th minute to
help to settle a magnificent contest between the English and Italian league
leaders.
t was the first time in
13 matches that City had gone behind but after being a distant second best for
the first half-hour, they finally clicked into gear.
Aguero came close to the record-breaking goal but soon after, in
the 34th minute, Otamendi muscled in at the far post to head home Ilkay
Gundogan’s pinpoint cross from the right.
The defining passages of
play saw Ederson make a wonderful save from Jose Callejon before a lightning
break from Sane ended with the ball falling to the sharp Aguero, who finished
magnificently.
As the game continued to throb from end to end, the final word
went to Sterling who struck from close range after being freed by the brilliant
Kevin de Bruyne. It ensured City’s qualification for the knockout stages for
the fifth season in succession.
