Manchester City Beats Chelsea to Win FA Community Shield; Sergio Aguero Scored Brace

Manchester City won the FA Community Shield against Chelsea at Wembley courtesy Sergio Aguero’s brace.

The Argentine forward also scored his 200th goal for Manchester City when he found the net at the 12th minute.

Sergio Aguero’s brace was enough to seal a comfortable win for the Premier League champions.

Aguero was stuck with 199 goals for Manchester City since he notched one in the EFL Cup final victory over Arsenal on February 25. However, the wait was over, as he finally achieved the glorious 200-mark on Sunday.

Sergio Aguero’s movement enabled him to find gaps in Chelsea’s defence, and the Chelsea defenders suffered throughout. As much as Chelsea missed Eden Hazard and N’Golo Kante, City’s performance didn’t let them miss their star players like Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling.

Manchester City got the lead under 13 minutes when Phil Foden turned up the tempo by driving forward and feeding Aguero. He drifted into space 18 yards from goal and picked out the bottom-right corner.

Chelsea couldn’t attack in the first 25 minutes of the game, and like their attack, their defence looked shaky too. The premier league champions could have added several more, but a combination of poor finishing and some fine goalkeeping from former City man Caballero kept the scoreline respectable.

In the second half of the game, nothing changed, and Manchester City kept attacking. And Aguero found the net once again at the 58th minute to double the lead and seal the game. Chelsea’s Alvaro Morata had a yet another bad game with the Blues.

After conceding the goal, the Chelsea manager made some necessary substitutions. But that couldn’t change the momentum of the game, and the Premier League champions started the new season with silverware.

With this win, Manchester City won the Community Shield for the first time since 2012. Whereas, Chelsea have now failed to win the Community Shield in any of their last five appearances in the competition.
