Pellegrini Praises Match-Winner Aguero

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini praised Sergio Aguero after the Argentine helped his side finally pick up their first away win of the season in the Premier League.
.
Aguero scored twice either side of halftime and then set up David Silva for a late goal as City moved up to fourth place in the table with a 3-1 win at West Ham United on Saturday.
.
They had come into this game looking to throw off their 'Jekyll and Hyde' image so far this season after three previous away matches had yielded just one point.
.
And after Aguero's heroics ended their away hoodoo, Pellegrini is hopeful they can now build on that success.
.
"One point from nine is not a good average and before we started the game, Chelsea and Arsenal had both won their matches, so it was important not to lose any more points," he said.
.
"I'm very pleased. The most important thing was to win, but we continued to play the same way as we have been. I told the players to have patience and keep moving the ball. I think we did it very well and deserved our victory."
.
Pellegrini added: "Sergio is a top player who makes an important difference. He didn't play the second game with Argentina in mid-week, so he was fresh."
.
Pellegrini took a gamble by naming a completely new back four with Javi Garcia partnering Matija Nastasic in central defence, but in truth, they were never really tested by a West Ham side who once again lined up in a free-form 4-5-1 formation with Mohamed Diame as a 'false nine'.

Sergio Auguero is just a classy player for Manchester City so he would surely do this often!
