Sergio Aguero helped himself to a hat-trick as Manchester City destroyed Chelsea 6-0 to return to the top of the Premier League.

The Citizens are now ahead of Liverpool on goal difference after embarrassing Maurizio Sarri’s side, who drop to sixth, behind Arsenal on goal difference and one point behind Manchester United in fourth.

Raheem Sterling scored a brace and Ilkay Gundogan added another with Sarri’s side unable to reply.

Relive all the action from the Etihad above.
