Manchester City score two goals in quick succession (Video)

Manchester City pull away from Hull with goals from Sergio Aguero and Fabian Delph.

Hull aren’t having the best day against Manchester City. Ahmed Elmohamady in particular is having a rough time. In the 48th minute, Sergio Aguero finished off a beautiful passage of play with a rather sloppy finish.

David Silva picked up the ball in acres of space and picked out Raheem Sterling, who made light work of a tattered Hull defense. Twisting past one defender and ghosting another, Sterling took the ball to the touchline and sent in a low cross that just beat the outstretched arms of the Hull keeper. Aguero found himself with plenty of time just five yards away from goal with the entire right side of the net to aim for. Instead, he hit a low shot to his left that bounced off two Hull players, one being Elmohamady, who had scored an own goal in the first half.

Then, 16 minutes later, Fabian Delph made it 3-0 to the home team with a left-footed drive just inside the 18-yard box.

Raheem Sterling motored down the right side of the pitch to collect a pass and ran inside the Hull City defense. A quick pass to Delph to his left saw the Manchester City player collect his second assist of the game. Fabian Delph received the ball with yards of space in front of him and, after a few touches to set up the shot, blasted a shot into the far right corner of the net.
