Sergio Aguero led Manchester City to yet another impressive win at his 100 appearance as they prevailed 3-0 over Southampton at St Mary’s stadium.

It all started with a goalless first half that saw the Citizens being denied a blatant penalty as Jose Fonte tackled Aguero.

Stevan Jovetic almost put his team on the lead but his shot was cleared just inches from the goalline by Toby Alderweireld.

It seemed like Manuel Pellegrini’s pep talk worked well as City entered the pitch determined to pick up the three precious points.

Yaya Toure opened the score with a deflected shot from outside the box in 51 minutes.

Pellegrini’s golden substitute Frank Lampard sealed the deal for his team ten minutes before full time with a magnificent strike.

Things did not end there for Ronald Koeman’s side as they conceded a third eight minutes later by Gael Clichy.
