At
the start of the second half, it took City just 3 minutes again to take
the lead as Sergio Aguero finished a beauty of a ball in from De
Bruyne.
Five minutes later, it was 3-1 and
again it was that man Aguero on target as he netted from close range
after being played through by De Bruyne. The Belgian was having the game
of his night as he registered a hat-trick of assists in a single game
for the first time ever in his career.

City manager Claude Puel responded by bringing in Mahrez and Iheanacho
after the goals but the duo could do barely nothing as City were firing
from all cylinders.
In the 77th minute, Sergio
Aguero got his hat-trick as he capitalized on a terrible Schmeichel
error to register City's fourth goal on the night.
There
was still time for one more goal as Sergio Aguero scored his fourth
goal on the night with a powerful shot in the 90th minute which hit the
underside of the bar before going in. The Citizens ran away with a
convincing 5-1 victory.
The victory takes them
to 72 points after 27 games, 16 points ahead of Manchester United in
second place who have 56 points with a game in hand.
