The Argentine striker gave the visitors the lead into an early lead, but Fernando Llorente's fine solo effort, crashing home a half-volley, levelled things up in the 13th minute.

At half-time the teams were locked at 1-1, but the second period saw Manchester City step things up.

Mike van der Hoorn was allegved to have caught Kevin de Bruyne with a flailing elbow, and after the referee pointed from the spot, up stepped Aguero to bag another.

The gloss was added to the scoreline in the 77th minute when Raheem Sterling netted to continue his fine start to the season.

Pep Guardiola's side top the table after their first six games.
