Premier League champions Manchester City have gone to the top of the table after they thrashed Huddersfield Town 6-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Sergio Aguero was the star of the show in the Citizens’ first home game of the new season as he netted a hattrick, his ninth league treble and 13th overall for the three-time Premier League winners.

The Argentine striker is level on 9 Premier League hattricks with Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler.

Gabriel Jesus, David Silva and a Terence Kongolo own goal completed the result for the home side, while Slovenian defender Jon Gorenc Stankovic scored the lone goal for the Terriers.

The game was special for Spanish playmaker David Silva on the occasion of his 250th league appearance.

He has now scored 49 goals and 75 assists in the Premier League.

The win takes Manchester City ahead of Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur at the top of the table.

In the other game played on Sunday afternoon, Watford joined the aforementioned trio on two wins from the first two league games of the season with a 3-1 win at Burnley.

Andre Gray, Troy Deeney and Will Hughes got the goals for Watford, while James Tarkowski scored what proved to be mere consolation for the hosts.
