Man City’s Aguero routs Leicester with 4 goals

London, Feb 11 (IANS) Argentine striker Sergio Aguero scored four second-half goals for Manchester City against Leicester, while Kevin De Bruyne contributed three key assists to lead their team to a 5-1 win that left Pep Guardiola’s squad with an even stronger lead in the English Premier League (EPL).

It took only three minutes for Leicester’s resistance to cave, the time it took De Bruyne to snatch and center the ball, which Raheem Sterling booted into the net, reports Efe news.

De Bruyne was to contribute the set-ups for Manchester’s first three goals.

However, a closer match seemed to be in the works when Jamie Vardy tied it up with a shot that went through Aymeric Laporte’s legs, confused Ederson and got into the net for a score to make it 1-1 at minute 24.

But Manchester City got back in front soon after the second half started, and from then on it was all Aguero.

One after another he chipped or slammed the ball into the net at minutes 48, 53, 77 and 90.

With this victory, Manchester City remains the leader of the Premier League with 72 points, 16 more than Manchester United, its closest rival, which goes up against Newcastle this Sunday at St. James Park Stadium.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
