Aguero matches Rooney's derby record as City star breaches Utd once again

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has matched the achievements of Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney by recording an eighth derby goal.

The Argentine has enjoyed meetings with the Red Devils down the years, and has regularly been a thorn in their side.

That proved to be the case again on his most recent outing against the men from Old Trafford.

Jose Mourinho took United to the Etihad Stadium aware that containing Aguero would be key to their hopes of taking anything from a highly-charged contest.

He was, however, to see Aguero distract defenders as David Silva opened the scoring before netting City’s second of the game himself.
