1. Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)
Aguero scored two and set up another in City’s 4-0 win over Crystal Palace.
The Argentine continued his rich vein of form with two goals as City romped to a convincing 4-0 home victory against Crystal Palace.
Already leading via Fabian Delph’s goal, Aguero doubled his side’s advantage just before half time with a sweet strike from range which hit Scott Dann before nestling in Wayne Hennessey’s net.
His second of the game was the culmination of an excellent free-flowing move involving himself, David Silva, Yaya Toure and Kevin de Bruyne, as the latter squared to give Aguero the simplest of tap-ins for his 10th Premier League goal of the season.
After De Bruyne’s unselfish assist, it was the South American’s turn to become the provider, this time putting the ball on a plate for David Silva to settle the game at 4-0 when he could have attempted to complete hat-trick.
