Aguero ends barren streak as City celebrate three-goal win
David Silva and Adam Johnson celebrate today.
FT: Manchester City 3 Fulham 0
Sergio Aguero ended his five-game barren streak by sending Manchester City on their way to a comfortable win over Fulham.
Aguero drove home his 19th goal of the campaign from the penalty spot after just nine minutes on a snowy evening at the Etihad Stadium.
A Chris Baird own goal and a second-half tap-in for Edin Dzeko saw City open up a three-point lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League.
Etuhu was replaced by Bryan Ruiz but Fulham did not really look like scoring and it was no surprise when Dzeko tapped home a third from Aguero’s square pass after another excellent run from the Argentinian.
Kolarov, about to be booked for hauling Moussa Dembele back, was fortunate to escape a red card when he got engaged in a head-to-head duel with the Fulham man, who was cautioned.
Fulham came close when Ruiz’s cross struck Dzeko and clipped the post before rolling to safety.
Baird was booked for chopping Dzeko down and as the game entered stoppage time, Pizarro came on for his City debut, with Johnson making way.
