City came flying out of the blocks at Villa Park. Riyad Mahrez netted twice inside 25 minutes, with his former Leicester City team-mate Danny Drinkwater culpable on both occasions:

Sergio Aguero then made it 3-0 in the 28th minute with a thunderbolt from 20 yards.

And in first-half stoppage-time, Gabriel Jesus turned home Kevin De Bruyne's inch-perfect cross from the right to prompt an exodus from some of the home fans:

The Sky Blues did not take their foot off the gas after the break, with Aguero slotting into the bottom corner just before the hour to pass Thierry Henry in the record books:

The Argentinian then completed his hat-trick nine minutes from time, driving home an emphatic finish after more poor defending from Villa.

Anwar El Ghazi scored a consolation from the penalty spot in stoppage time after Ilkay Gundogan fouled Trezeguet.

As a result of the loss, Villa dropped into the bottom three after Abdoulaye Doucoure, Troy Deeney and Roberto Pereyra scored in Watford's 3-0 win against the Cherries.

On Saturday, Roberto Firmino's goal decided proceedings in Liverpool's visit to Spurs.

Southampton exacted their revenge on Leicester City, beating the Foxes 2-1 11 weeks on from their 9-0 drubbing at the hands of Brendan Rodgers' side:

Manchester United, meanwhile, matched their biggest win of the season as they beat Norwich 4-0 at home, Marcus Rashford netting twice on his 200th outing for the Red Devils.
