Though Tang Long had been substituted, he couldn’t sit still on the bench, and simply started waving a towel on the sidelines like his forr teammate Berni.
However, Berni waved a white towel, while Manchester City’s towel was blue.
"Good shot, good shot, Sergio, shoot him!" The towel whooshed, creating a sound like a helicopter landing.
With Tang Long cheering all the way, Agüero first feinted past Blind in the center, then faced with Ashley Young’s pressing, tapped the ball left with his right foot, bypassing two players. Taking advantage of De Gea’s unsettled position, he unleashed a powerful strike with his left foot!
4:1!
Manchester City leads by three goals at Old Trafford!
After scoring, Agüero was unusually excited, sprinting 40 ters to the sideline to high-five Tang Long.
Guardiola, nearby, touched his bald head and smiled at Agüero, saying, "That’s enough."
But once Manchester City unsheathes their sword, there’s no stopping it.
The players on the field couldn’t hold back, each like they’d gone berserk, wishing to tear Manchester United apart.
It’s Agüero again!
This ti, the attack was a strong display of Manchester City’s teamwork football.
Mkhitaryan received a direct pass from Ranocchia, pretending to pass back, but instead, lightly dribbled, swaying Pogba, without touching the ball, then nudged it forward.
Then Gundogan, Kolarov, and others quickly cut in crosswise.
"Ping pong ping," the football swiftly advanced through passing like a pinball in a 3D space, arriving at Manchester United’s penalty area in the blink of an eye.
This series of actions dazzled the eyes, leaving spectators breathless as Pellegrini held a tight feeling in his heart, anticipating another conceded goal.
As expected, Gundogan finally passed the ball to Kolarov on the wing.
Kolarov, knowing his slow footwork, without adjusting, decisively swung his left foot and delivered a flat cross!
Agüero moved like the wind, taking a step forward, casually flicking his right foot at the near post. The ball’s angle was extrely tricky, nudging into the far corner of the post.
5:1!
Agüero, scoring twice, roared towards the sky.
This ti, he didn’t hide his inner excitent, tearing off his jersey and throwing it into the night sky above Old Trafford.
At this mont, it was already past 10 PM, and the starry sky of Manchester witnessed Manchester City’s big victory in this derby.
"Haha, finally scored a brace!"
Before this match, Agüero had scored 9 goals in 14 Premier League fixtures and 2 goals in 6 Champions League group stage matches. His efficiency was undoubtedly high, making him Manchester City’s second top scorer after Tang Long.
But what Agüero found hard to accept was that these goals always ca consistently one per match, no more, no less.
The only ti he had scored twice was an own goal, drawing much teasing from teammates. This ti he finally scored two proper goals against an opponent.
For Agüero, it was a breakthrough of an inner curse.
Substituted young fullback Robertson was also shouting excitedly, just about to jump up, when Chiwo pulled him aside.
"Did you see that, Robertson, Kolarov’s demonstration of crossing without stopping the ball from the wing. You need to learn that."
Robertson nodded repeatedly.
He thought if he were in that position, he might stop or dribble two steps looking for a breakthrough.
But if that happened, Agüero in the center would be tightly marked, and there would be no subsequent near-post shot.
Seeing his team being ravaged at their ho ground by the cross-town arch-rivals, Icardi sat on the bench full of despair.
"Now don’t even talk about comparing with Tang, I can’t even compare with Agüero!" He slamd his fist heavily on the plastic panel beside the bench, making a "bang" sound and punching a large hole, drawing the attention of the nearby teammates.
He was truly livid!
Carrying the halo of Manchester United’s highest transfer fee in history, Icardi had jumped from Inter Milan in Serie A to Manchester United in the Premier League, expecting a larger football stage.
But now, all these dream-filled bubbles were brutally popped by Tang Long, by Agüero, by Manchester City!
Icardi couldn’t even wait for the match to end, stood up in dismay, and walked alone into the players’ tunnel.
Ultimately, the score of 5:1 was maintained until the end of the match.
As of the end of round 15 in the Premier League, the standings are as follows:
1. Manchester City 14 wins 1 draw 43 points
2. Chelsea 12 wins 2 draws 1 loss 38 points
3. Manchester United 10 wins 2 draws 3 losses 32 points
This match holds significant importance.
It ans that Manchester United, even before the halfway point of the league, has been left 11 points behind the leader Manchester City.
A double-digit gap is an almost insurmountable chasm in the Premier League.
The implication is undeniable, which ans the Red Devils have already prematurely bid farewell to this season’s Premier League title race.
Pellegrini’s hopes of revenge on his forr club after moving from Manchester City to Manchester United have co to naught!
As of the end of round 14 in the Premier League, the top scorers are as follows:
1. Tang Long 20 goals
2. Kane 13 goals
3. Agüero 11 goals
After Tang Long scored a hat trick, he also beca the first player in the top five leagues to break 20 league goals.
Currently, the dia has reached a consensus, replacing last year’s Agüero, Tang Long winning this season’s Premier League Golden Boot is almost beyond doubt.
People are anticipating whether he can defeat ssi and C Luo to win the European Golden Boot.
At the sa ti, Tottenham also concluded their match with Everton, where Kane scored a goal, helping the team to a 1-1 away draw.
It was a very brilliant header goal, full of power, with Kane outjumping two tall central defenders to score.
In the post-match interview, reporters surrounded Kane, praising his goal, and one reporter said, "Kane, keep going, you’ll fight with Tang until the end for the Premier League Golden Boot, good luck!"
Kane is a player with an introverted personality, and when reporters praised his goals in the past, he would just shyly smile and not comnt;
But upon hearing a journalist from the Tis say he would compete against Tang Long for the Premier League Golden Boot, Kane showed a look of panic, took a step back, and waved his hands quickly.
"No, no, no, please don’t say that, it puts too much pressure on . I’ve watched many of Tang’s goal highlights, my God, I really can’t imagine how those balls were scored."
"Let tell you this, any goal I can score, Tang can also score, but the goals I can’t score, Tang can still make."
"In terms of judging the situation and choosing shooting techniques, I have a lot to learn from him. I even hope to et him face to face for so advice, that’s my wish." Kane’s response was full of respect for Tang Long.
"Of course, for , personal goal numbers aren’t important; what’s important is leading Tottenham into the top four this season, so Tang leading Manchester City to beat Manchester United is indeed good news for us."
In Kane’s mind, Manchester United is Tottenham’s biggest rival for top four, so he is grateful for Tang Long’s hat trick.
The Manchester Evening News compared Tang Long to Satan on the Premier League field, claiming he terrorizes opponents every match like a demon and dominates them on the field, delivering heavy blows.
"Satan descends on Old Trafford! Tang’s hat trick destroys the Red Devils!"
"This season’s Premier League title race has beco a two-team race between Manchester City and Chelsea!"
"Facing his forr club, Chilean manager Pellegrini lost face. After the match, he even refused to converse with Guardiola, opting for a light handshake before heading straight to the changing room."
"Icardi’s early exit also sparked significant unrest in the Manchester United dressing room."
"Manchester United captain Rooney declared in the post-match press conference that all players who leave early are unforgivable, as they have violated a collective principle."
"It’s hard to imagine a player with the highest transfer fee in Manchester United’s history ending up like this this season!"
"Why can’t Manchester United utilize Icardi effectively? Who was the main force in recruiting him? The managent cannot evade this responsibility."
"In the post-Ferguson era, Manchester United still struggles. We can’t help but wonder, how many more years will it take to see the Red Devils’ revival?"
"Looking at it now, there is no hope in sight. Of course, speaking off the record, it depends on how long Tang can play at Manchester City. If he continues with this team, Manchester City will remain the Premier League’s hegemon!"
"If Mancini’s era marked the beginning of the Blue Moon’s reign, Pellegrini then continued the team’s glory."
"Under Guardiola’s leadership, this team clearly has higher ambitions!"
"The Premier League is no longer their primary focus; their sole objective is to win the Champions League this season!"
