OSG Prem: Sergio Aguero's Busy Day

((HT: BPL on NBCSN))

Spurs seem to give up goals in bunches when it comes to playing Manchester City.

Saturday morning was no different as Sergio Aguero scored all four goals in a PK-laden 4-1 win at the Etihad.

Evidence below...


Aguero joins Edin Dzeko as Man City players who have scored four against Tottenham. He is also now their leading goal scorer with 61- and counting.

The Citizens close Chelsea's league lead to two pending the Blues match at Crystal Palace.

((HT: BPL on NBC))

Manchester City goes to the top of the table with a 5-1 wipe out of Spurs at White Hart Lane...
Toure, Dzeko, Jovetic, Aguero, and Kompany are now a point ahead of Arsenal with a +18 goal differential...

The Aguero goal was sublime


Elsewhere...

On the flipside, Chelsea had 36 shots on goal and couldn't put one past West Ham and Jaaskelainen...
The Blues are now 3 behind City...

Sunderland got the 1-0 win against Stoke which solidifies the idea that relegation will be a fight-and-a-half...
Adam Johnson's goal was good enough and now three points separate positions 11 through 17...

Lastly, the wildest game of the day was with...
Wait for it...

Aston Villa and West Brom...
6 goals in the first half all by itself, but it took a Christian Benteke strike to give the Hammers the three points...

"It's not great for the heart, to go down 2-0 in a derby. All credit to the team, the response was fantastic," Villa manager Paul Lambert said post match. "With derby games, it doesn't matter where you are in the table, they're really unpredictable. We've done so much in a short space of time. We have a young side and we are giving it a right good go."

West Ham is still tied with Fulham at 19 points, but are ahead on goal differential and Cardiff are in the basement only a point behind...

So much for having the toughest defense in the League...

13 seconds in, Jesus Navas placed a beautiful shot in the upper corner against Tottenham and it was profoundly downhill after that...

Manchester City gets 3 in each half and wins 6-nil at the Etihad...

The blowout win puts City up to fourth in the league with a league-leading goal differential of +21.

The loss is the worst in the league for Tottenham since a 6-1 loss to Chelsea in 1998. The shutout for Spurs is also the first time they have scoreless in three straight games since January of 2009.

Here's a lot of City offense...

OSG Prem: Manchester Darby Goes To City

((HT: BPL/youtube))

In games like this, for Manchester City anyway, it's "throw everything you have at United" and see what happens...

Today, United played their first half at Old Trafford more like an away game- trying not t lose as opposed to trying to win- and it showed...

The scoreless first half led to a goal by Milner and a goal by the Reds to tie it...
But in a move eerily similar to the one that won the title for City, Sergio Aguero struck again...


City leaves with the 2-1 win... leaving their supporters wondering "what if..." they hadn't drawn at QPR and lost to Southampton right now...

ManU gets Stoke next Sunday while, City gets West Ham on the 17th...and the lead is down to 12...

OSG Prem: Man City Salvages Tie With Liverpool

((HT: Sky Sports/EPL))

Manchester United is running away with the Premier League- currently nine points clear of the Citizens after Liverpool gave the Blues every bit they could handle at the Etihad...

Just don't tell Sir Alex that he's got it wrapped up...

There were a few ridiculous goals in play as both squads went for three points- knowing just what City needs to stay within ear shot of United and what Liverpool needs to climb within the top six. Swansea and West Brom are still only two points in arrears
of Liverpool at present...

Gerrard and Aguero went off the scale to stay close...

Here's the highlights while they're up...

OSG Prem: Man City Implodes, Then Explodes... Gets Title

It was set up all for Manchester City for their first title in 44 years...

All they had to do was beat relegation candidate Queens Park Rangers since it was assumed that Manchester United was going to beat Sunderland.

Which they did...

Man City had a 1-0 lead in the second half when QPR captain Joey Barton had a meltdown of biblical proportions...

Then, QPR scores twice for a 2-1 lead a man down with a lot of time left...
Man City then gets goals from Dzeko and Aguero in stoppage time for a game denying Manchester United their BPL crown...

Both sides finish with 89 points, but the Sky Blues win on goal differential...

In the relegation battle, Bolton Wanderers' loss ensures their demotion to the Championship. QPR stays.

Here's the moment where Aguero scored... gotta love the split screen...
