Sergio Aguero Leads Manchester City's 6-1 Rout Of Huddersfield In EPL

New Delhi : Argentine star Sergio Aguero scored a hat-trick as Manchester City thrashed Huddersfield Town 6-1 in English Premier League football action on Sunday.

Even without Belgium midfielder Kevin de Bruyne, who is sidelined for the next three months due to a right knee injury, the reigning champions showed no sign of weakness.

Huddersfield's resistance lasted only 25 minutes, following which Aguero opened the scoring after seizing on a long pass from Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson, punishing Huddersfield's English net minder Ben Hamer for leaving his goal early, reports Efe.

Just five minutes later, Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus doubled City's lead when he took advantage of the defence's failure to clear the ball at the edge of the area.

It took Aguero another five minutes to make the score 3-0, as he made Hamer pay for failing to catch a cross by French left back Benjamin Mendy.

With only two minutes to go before the first-half stoppage time, Huddersfield's lone goal was scored by Slovenian defender Jon Stankovic.

Man City's Spanish attacking midfielder David Silva then made his side's fourth goal on a nicely-executed, long-range free kick just three minutes into the second half, ending any hopes of a comeback Stankovic may have sparked before the intermission.

After squandering a few scoring chances, Aguero sealed his ninth Premier League hat-trick on a close-range touch to make it 5-1 in the 75th minute.

It was Huddersfield defender Terence Kongolo who capped off the away rout with an own goal in the 83rd minute.

Huddersfield break transfer record to sign Kongolo permanently

[ad_1]

Terence Kongolo has signed for Huddersfield Town on a permanent basis after the Premier League side broke their transfer record to lure the Dutchman back from Monaco.

Netherlands international Kongolo – who arrived on loan in January – has signed a four-year deal for a fee reportedly worth £17.5million.

Kongolo joined Ligue 1 outfit Monaco on a five-year contract ahead of the…

Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner says the club has made “a big statement” by making defender Terence Kongolo their club-record signing.

The Netherlands international, 24, ended last term on loan from Monaco and helped the Terriers avoid relegation[1] in their inaugural Premier League season.

He has now joined Town permanently on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Wagner said: “We knew he was a top player when we brought him in on loan. However, he exceeded our expectations.”

Kongolo was part of the Netherlands squad that reached the 2014 World Cup semi-finals and won the Dutch title with Feyenoord in 2016-17, earning a five-year deal with Monaco.[3]

The French club loaned him to Huddersfield in January and, playing at left-back and on the left side of a back three, he earned an international recall, winning his fourth cap against Slovakia last month.

“Terence gives us a fantastic option at centre-back and at left-back, and the way that he defends on the front foot is perfect for our style,” added Wagner.

“It’s exciting for us to think he can still get better and better from the high level he’s already at.

“He is also a perfect fit for our changing room – as everyone has seen he has ‘Terrier spirit’ in his DNA.”

Huddersfield paid a reported £11.44m to sign striker Steve Mounie from Montpellier[4] in July 2017.
