Sergio Aguero: 'Manuel Pellegrini right to sub me despite six-goal target'

By , Reporter
Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero insists that Manuel Pellegrini was right to bring him off despite his five-goal tally against Newcastle United.

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has insisted that Manuel Pellegrini was right to substitute him, and in turn, deny the frontman the chance to notch a double hat-trick against Newcastle United.

Aguero bagged five goals in the club's 6-1 comeback win at home to the Magpies on Saturday, before he was withdrawn from the fray by his manager with 28 minutes still remaining.

"It was a good decision from the manager to change me because it means no risk," said Aguero, according to Sky Sports News.

"I had a problem with my hamstring in the last game in the Champions League against Borussia Monchengladbach, but now I am feeling good."

City currently hold top spot in the Premier League standings, having played one more game than second-placed Manchester United.
