The Argentine was the solitary scorer at Turf Moor, netting his 20th goal of the season to secure a vital three points after City had seen several chances go begging.

Bernardo and Aymeric Laporte both went close before the match-winning strike, which required the intervention of goal-line technology after Matthew Lowton volleyed it clear.
It was a goal which returned the reigning champions to the top of the Premier League and with a VAR decision recently going against City, Aguero was particularly pleased to be the beneficiary at Turf Moor.
“Today I was happy with the technology,” he beamed.
“I was so very happy for the win.
“I think it was over the line. I am very happy with the goal because in the first half we had a lot of chances, so it was important to win.”
As it so often has been, it was a moment very much about City’s No.10.
Collecting a cute pass from Bernardo, he prodded home from six-yards to become only the second player to net 20 Premier League goals in six different seasons.
But in a game which produced a cagey first half and with the tension growing as the wait to break the deadlock lengthened, Aguero was keen to praise the unwavering effort of his colleagues.
“When I scored I enjoyed the moment with my team-mates because they did a lot of work for the win today,” he added.
“Now we have one week now to prepare for the next game.”
