Aguero’s 200th City goal sinks Chelsea
Print Edition
THE new English season got off to a familiar start as two Sergio Aguero goals, including his 200th for the club, handed Manchester City a 2-0 win over Chelsea and claim the FA Community Shield for the fifth time at Wembley.
The game between the title winner and the cup holder is the traditional curtain-raiser but on this evidence the gap between the two teams, which last season stood at 30 points in the English Premier League, is as wide as ever despite the arrival of Maurizio Sarri as Blues manager and new signing Jorginho.
Aguero struck his first on 13 minutes after Phil Foden, filling in admirably for Kevin De Bruyne, burst forward to find the Argentine, who wrong-footed Antonio Rudiger with a low shot to become the first City player to reach a double century of goals.
Chelsea, which was without Eden Hazard, took 25 minutes to even register a shot and seldom threatened and it was no surprise when Aguero added a second from a Bernardo Silva pass after spurning an even clearer chance moments earlier.
City cut Chelsea apart to become the first EPL champion to win the trophy since Manchester United in 2013.
