Aguero scores hat-trick, Man City takes M.U's top spot

VIỆT ANH |

Man City have beaten Watford 6-0 away to Vicarage Road on 16 September in the Premier League round 5.

This is a match between two of three teams that have maintained an unbeaten record after the first 4 rounds of the Premier League 2017-2018. However, Man City are still rated higher.

In fact, Watford caused a lot of difficulties for the away team in the first half of the first half. Man City have had to make many shots from a distance. They have not been able to get many balls into the opponent's penalty area or if they do, they will encounter close-range attacks from Watford players.

So the deadlock was only broken by Man City from a set piece. From a free kick from the left wing, De Bruyne hung the ball in for Aguero to head the opening goal in the 27th minute.

Just 4 minutes later, the gap was doubled. After trying to get the ball on the left wing, Gabriel Jesus passed it to David Silva to assist Aguero. The Argentine striker's task in this phase was quite simple when he had an empty goal in front of him. This is Aguero's 200th goal in Europe's top national championships.

Not long after, exactly in the 38th minute, Gabriel Jesus increased the score to 3-0. Aguero passed the Brazilian striker through with an accurate diagonal shot. However, it seems that Jesus was offside when he scored his 15th goal in 15 Premier League games. 3-0 was also the score after the first 45 minutes.

In the second half, The Citizens somewhat gave up the game to Watford. The home team had a few opportunities to shorten the score from the touchline but they could not convert them successfully.

Man City have held the ball less but still know how to make their fans continue to celebrate. David Silva had an accurate cross from the left wing, creating conditions for Otamendi to head the ball in the 64th minute.

Watford have not given up, but their efforts have still not brought any results. Aguero completed his hat-trick in this match in the 81st minute after a classy solo.

The score of 6-0 for this match was set at the 89th minute. Sterling was fouled by Kabasele in the away zone. It was the English winger who later converted the penalty kick.

This victory helped Man City get 13 points after 5 rounds, temporarily occupying the top spot in the Premier League rankings of Man United. Meanwhile, the first loss of the season has seen Watford drop to 8th place with 8 points.
