Sergio Aguero recorded a hat trick for Manchester City in a 3-1 victory over Newcastle on Saturday.

The striker headed home a Kevin De Bruyne cross in the 34th minute as City took a slim lead into half-time.

Aguero then converted a penalty in the 63rd minute after Javier Manquillo brought down Raheem Sterling in the box.

Newcastle found a lifeline four minutes later, however, when Jacob Murphy got on the end of a Ciaran Clark through ball.

But Aguero made sure of the three points with seven minutes to play, redirecting a Leroy Sane pass after some fine play from the German to evade multiple Magpies defenders.
