Sergio Aguero scored twice as hosts Manchester City defeated Burnley 4-1 at the Etihad stadium.

It was the visitors who broke the deadlock in the 25th minute on Saturday after a mistake by defender John Stones which allowed Ashley Barnes to punish the Sky Blues with a wonderful strike.

David Silva set-up Sergio Aguero with a quick free-kick to level the match in the 56th minute. Aguero struck again two minutes later to give the Citizens the lead.

David Silva then set up a third goal for Leroy Sane in the 71st minute, before substitute Bernardo Silva wrapped-up the scoring eight minutes from time, securing City a spot in the FA Cup’s 4th round.
