Pep Guardiola hails Sergio Aguero after Manchester City striker's Champions League hat-trick

Sergio Aguero hit another hat-trick as Pep Guardiola's superb start at Manchester City continued with an emphatic victory over Borussia Monchengladbach in their Champions League Group C opener.

Aguero followed up his treble against Steaua Bucharest in the play-off round with three more goals as City swept aside the Germans 4-0 in their delayed clash at the Etihad Stadium.

City have now won seven in succession since Guardiola took charge in the summer while Aguero - who will miss the next two matches as he completes a domestic suspension - has scored nine in just five appearances.
