With Manchester City facing competition from Liverpool as they aimed to defend their Premier League title, the Citizens faced Arsenal and Chelsea, two of the top six, in February. Games against such opposition can derail a season and are often decided by moments of brilliance. Fortunately for City, they have Sergio Aguero amongst their ranks, and the Argentinian certainly enjoyed these two occasions.

The former Atletico Madrid star would come away with a hat-trick in each game, first against Arsenal, who his side beat 3-1, and then helping mauling Chelsea 6-0 just two weeks later. Across both games, Aguero showed the full extent of his goalscoring talents, with his six-goal haul including a real mixture of finishes - a penalty, a header, a long-range strike, a left-footed effort and two tap-ins.

He even made history by levelling Alan Shearer's record of 11 Premier League trebles according to the Panini Tabloid, although the former England international's accomplishment is slightly more impressive: it took him 223 games to reach the landmark, whilst Aguero did it 229. However, City's number 10 is still in a select club, and he has time on his side to go in front on his own at the age of 31, especially considering his contract doesn't expire for another two years.

Whether he does or not, he once again showed just how important he is to Pep Guardiola and his team last season. Aguero's numbers tell the story; His 28 Premier League goal contributions (21 goals and seven assists) were only beaten by Raheem Sterling, and even then the number was only bettered by one. Yet it was the England international who received most of the plaudits and picked up several awards at the end of the campaign, including the PFA Young Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year.

Somehow, Augero is often overlooked as a key element of the City juggernaut. Despite having scored at least 20 Premier League goals in six of his eight seasons in Manchester, he has been included in the PFA Team of the Year on just two occasions.

Regardless, Aguero can revel in all he has done for Manchester City, and may even add more success to a fantastic season if he can help his national side win the Copa America. He's already a winner in Manchester - it's about time he became one at home.
