What were the key moments of Sergio Aguero's hat-trick against Arsenal?
Aguero!
It is a fast start.
Stirling, Aguero, what a goal.
Here's Stirling. And Aguero! It's been another three-goal surge from Sergio.
City bounced back with a bit of help from Sergio Aguero. It's now 219 goals he's scored for Manchester City, his 10th Premier League hat-trick. And him and Fernandinho had an unusual role today for City in chatting with Jeff Shreves. Sergio, Fernandinho, was that exactly what you needed after the loss to Newcastle?
Yeah, of course. Of course, we wanted to... go back on track, the winning way, and of course playing good football. I think today we deserved it because we went for the game from the first minute, so we scored another early goal, and I think we controlled the game and we deserved the win.
Another early goal, another goal in the first minute, what's happening?
How did Manchester City respond after their loss to Newcastle?
I don't know, but it's important to win because the other day I scored early, 25 seconds, and then we lost, but today I'm very happy.
After you took the lead so early, do you think your level dropped a little in the first half?
No, I don't think so. They scored a goal in a set-piece, so they are very dangerous set-pieces, and we saw that before the game. They are really good, so I think we didn't drop the level. We maintained our rhythm, we maintained the way we were playing, and of course at the end of the first half we scored the second goal, and in the second half we controlled the game.
Sergio, your tenth Premier League hat-trick for Manchester City. Did you know much about the third goal?
Yeah, I think it was nine, but now it's good to remember ten. No, I'm very happy, just the more important is the score, it's important to win, no?
Did it come off of your arm?
Honestly, I think it was in the chest, but now I saw it on TV, it was the handball.
It was her decision, it was a goal, it doesn't matter.
Tell us about your role today, the position you played, and what the manager was looking for.
If they play 4-4-2, we defend 4-3-3, and of course when they have the ball, I go to the middle, join the Gundo, but without the ball, I join the line-back four.
What tactical adjustments did City make to secure their victory?
So I think that works today.
Enjoy it?
Yeah, a bit. So playing back there, you know, you can... You have the whole vision of the pitch and you go in the middle, you know exactly what you have to do because it's the same position I have been playing this season so far. And of course I'm happy to help my teammates to win that game, an important game.
How much is there a determination as well amongst the players to fight all the way to the end of the season between you and Liverpool and Tottenham as well?
No, the important thing is to fight every game, so now we have to think about Everton again, because I think it will be so difficult against Everton.
OK, well, you certainly did your job today. Congratulations, unsurprisingly, you are the Premier League man of the match. You do the honours, please, and hand it over. Well done, guys, thank you. 219 goals, incredible effort from Sergio Aguero, and all three for City today against Arsenal. 59% possession to Arsenal's 41, but that key statistic is the top one. 19 attempts to Arsenal's four.
What role did Fernandinho play in the match against Arsenal?
The last of those four from Arsenal coming in the 39th minute, and that, remember, is a team that was chasing the game. But City first, Jamie. If you're Pep Guardiola, you've just lost against Newcastle. feel the pressure building, everyone talking about whether this is a team that's going to fall away. How pleased would you be by that reaction?
Very pleased, no doubt. I mean, the way they've been starting games in the last game, obviously they scored very early. It's a massive thing in one of the sort of big head-to-head rivals, one of your top six rivals. I think we said before the game, on the back of a defeat, if there's a game that you'd sort of like to play or if there was an opposition you could pick... Arsenal will be one of them coming here. I think Arsenal are probably lucky it wasn't more, really. But I don't think it was ever, maybe I've mentioned it before, I don't think it was ever in question whether there'd be a reaction from City or all of a sudden they were going to fall apart and not challenge for the title.
