Manchester City were just one goal away from spelling "Chelsea"

Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League table in style, as they beat Chelsea 6-0 on Sunday afternoon.

City took the lead after just four minutes, as Chelsea's defence was cut open and Raheem Sterling fired home. Sergio Aguero had a golden opportunity to double their advantage minutes later, but remarkably missed an open goal from just yards out.

Aguero redeemed himself just five minutes later with an absolutely beautiful strike. The Argentine picked the ball up on the edge of the box and delightfully curled it into the top corner, giving Kepa Arrizabalaga no chance.

Aguero scored his second six minutes after his first, as Ross Barkley headed the ball straight back into the box to put it on a plate for him. City made it 4-0 in the 25th minute, as Ilkay Gundogan found acres of space on the edge of the box to guide the ball into the bottom corner.

Aguero completed his hat-trick in the second half with a cool penalty, after Cesar Azpilicueta brought down Sterling. It was the Argentine's 11th Premier League hat-trick, putting him joint-first with the league's all time leading goalscorer Alan Shearer.

Sterling scored his second of the game in the final ten minutes, as he made it 6-0 with his 12th league goal of the season. It wrapped up an incredible performance from Manchester City, as they returned to the top of the table in style.
