Pep to get the best out of Aguero

MANCHESTER City manager Pep Guardiola has vowed to make Sergio Aguero an even better player.

The Argentine striker scored two goals on his return to City colours as the visitors made it 10 straight wins in league and cup football this season with a 3-1 victory away to Swansea on Saturday.

Having missed the previous three games due to suspension, Aguero took only eight minutes to give City the lead.

Fernando Llorente levelled five minutes later, but Aguero’s penalty, in the 65th minute, and a third from Raheem Sterling, 13 minutes from time, made the game safe. It’s now six straight Premier League wins for Guardiola.

The Spaniard was happy with the win, but still wants more from his players, including Aguero, who has now scored 11 times in six games so far this season.

Guardiola said: “I want to congratulate him on his performance, especially for the first goal.

“I am so happy for him. But I think he can play better and I will try to tell him.

“He has great ability and in the box there is nothing I can do to help him.

“But maybe I can help him develop, like keeping the ball and helping the rest of the team.”

Swansea, beaten by Guardiola’s men in the League Cup in midweek, certainly gave City a tougher test than their lowly league position suggested was possible.

Guardiola added: “It was an important win and now we have two games before the break.”

The pressure is certainly mounting on Swansea boss Francesco Guidolin, for whom this was a fourth league defeat of the season.

“The performance was good in my opinion. Manchester City is the best team in the Premier League, but I thought my team played at the same level as them,” Guidolin said.

“I am proud of my players, but of course, I am disappointed with the resu — AFP
