Sergio Aguero’s hat-trick helped Man City beat Newcastle United 3-1 at the Etihad on Saturday night to keep Pep Guardiola’s side 12 points clear at the top of the table.
City broke the deadlock after 34 minutes when Aguero nodded in Kevin De Brune’s inch-perfect cross, before the Argentine’s penalty doubled the home team’s lead (63).
Jacob Murphy did pull a goal back for the Newcastle four minutes later, only for that Aguero to seal the win with his 11th hat-trick for City, and his 22th goal of the season.
As a result, City remain 12 points clear of rivals Man Utd at the top of the Premier League, while the visitors are just two points clear of the relegation zone in 15th.
