Sergio Agüero has scored 100 league goals over the past 5 seasons

Prior to the season, many were wondering whether the Argentinean would be playing second fiddle to Jesus again but the boss has found a way for both of them to start and be effective. Before the game, we all knew that for this partnership to work, one of the two had to alter their movement patterns.

Jesus did just that. The Brazilian spent a lot of the game making runs on the outside of the two centre-backs, trying to drag them out wide to make space for Sergio Agüero in the middle. The two South Americans knew exactly where each other were and adjusted their movements accordingly. As a result, City looked fluid in attack and Sergio Agüero was able to score a landmark goal.
