City were looking to bounce back from last weekend’s draw against Burnley, and got off to a brilliant start when Raheem Sterling gave them the lead three minutes into the game.
The away side equalised via Jamie Vardy, as both sides went into the break on level terms.
However, after the break, the host turned up the heat, with Aguero going on to net four incredible goals to seal another convincing home win and three points for Pep Guardiola’s side.
That result means City have now extended their lead at the top to 16points, ahead of city rivals, Manchester United, who are second and travel to Newcastle United on Sunday.
Elsewhere in the league, Everton bounced back from their humiliating loss to Arsenal last week with a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace at Goodison Park.
