Manchester City’s away woes continued as they battled back twice to salvage a point against high flying West Ham United at Upton Park.
A brace from Manchester City’s Argentine hitman Sergio Aguero salvaged a point for Manuel Pellegrini’s side against the Hammers. City got off to the worst start possible after Enner Valencia gave West Ham United the lead after just 53 seconds on the clock. Sergio Aguero equalized for the Sky Blues from the penalty spot 8 minutes after being fouled in the penalty box by Carl Jenkinson.
Enner Valencia struck again for the Hammers 11 minutes into the second half before Aguero scored late on to rescue a draw for the Sky Blues. Sergio Aguero’s finishing prowess and Dimitri Payet’s creative masterclass dominated the chatter on social media as fans took to twitter to heap endless praise on the charismatic duo.
Enjoyable game. City haven’t won back-to-back league matches since 17 October.

Tonight’s brace puts Aguero only 4 goals behind Premier League top scorer Jamie Vardy – despite missing 30% of City’s league games so far.

Payet is a hell of a player. Him and Kante are the signings of the season.

Has anyone got the foggiest what Pellegrini is doing here with the subs? The guy’s an enigma wrapped in a mystery.
