Manchester City's Argentinian striker Sergio Aguero celebrates scoring his team's third goal during the English Premier League football match between Manchester City and Burnley at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, north west England, on February 10, 2019
Manchester, United Kingdom: Manchester City stormed into a 4-0 lead over Chelsea after just 25 minutes to head back towards the top of the Premier League ahead of Liverpool on goal difference on Sunday.
The first-half humiliation could have been even worse for Chelsea had Sergio Aguero not uncharacteristically passed up a glorious chance to double City's lead after Raheem Sterling fired home a fourth-minute opener.
Aguero made amends in stunning fashion by firing into the top corner from 25 yards before pouncing on a slack header by Ross Barkley to make it 3-0.
A 4-0 defeat to Bournemouth in their last away game was Chelsea's heaviest league defeat since 1996.
But Maurizio Sarri's men had levelled that mark midway through the first-half when Ilkay Gundogan's shot from the edge of the box had too much power for Kepa Arrizabalaga.
