Aguero on the double
Sergio Aguero made a stunning debut as the Argentina striker scored twice after coming on as a substitute in Manchester City's crushing 4-0 victory over Premier League debutants Swansea on Monday.
Aguero, a £38 million signing from Atletico Madrid, made it 2-0 from close range in the 68th minute after Edin Dzeko had broken the deadlock 11 minutes earlier.
Man of the match David Silva added the third before Aguero capped a delightful performance with a spectacular 30-yard finish in stoppage time.
City manager Roberto Mancini - who was delighted with the team's performance - said that Aguero's performance was all the more astonishing as he wasn't 100percent back to his best.
"I think he needs to recover as he only finished the Copa America three weeks ago," saiod Mancini.
"He needs another two to three weeks to be 100 percent, maybe. For me he's a fantastic striker, young, and he's going to be a fantastic player for us."
Aguero also got the thumbs-up from club captain Vincent Kompany.
"He's come in with a surprise. The great thing for me was that he was defending too. That's important," said the Belgian.
Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers said that he wasn't too depressed as his side wouldn't play the equivalent of City every week.
"I said to the players I was proud of them," he said.
"Up until the hour I thought we were fantastic.
"I was disappointed with two quick goals, but we conceded goals against a terrific team."Aguero received a rousing reception when he replaced Nigel De Jong in the 59th minute.
