Manchester City have ended their six-game winless run with a 4-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns this afternoon.
Sergio Aguero, who had gone eight games without scoring, nabbed two goals, while his teammate Ilkay Gundogan also scored twice to put Pep Guardiola's team back to the top of the Premier League table for the time being.
West Brom have not win in the top flight since September 17 and they currently sit 15th in the standings, three points above the relegation zone.

Subs: Caballero, Kompany, De Bruyne, Navas, Clichy, Iheanacho, A. Garcia
"This is a time of great change at Albion and when that happens you need continuity. As I have said from the outset, I want to build things here and play my part in improving the club. You cannot do these things overnight but I do believe, step by step, we are making advances.
"I think the bulk of our fans understand the process we embarked upon under the shadow of relegation less than two years ago. We have a club which can aspire to be an established top ten member of the football league everyone in the world wants to be part of. I want to continue to front that challenge."

Willing to bet that crowds go below 20k at home next season. Killing the club, dividing fans, terrible decision #wba

Last week he told reporters:" I think about that, yes, but after that the solution is not better than what I believe. So I cannot. Do you know why? Because in seven years I won 21 titles. So it's three titles per year playing in that way.
"But if you believe I arrive here and in three months everything is going well and I'm going to win in the Camp Nou 0-4, I'm going to dominate against Messi and Luis Suarez, and Neymar is going to create nothing, and Iniesta isn't going to play good, no.
"I'm good, but it's not enough! No, I'm not going to change. If it's not going well in the future, if next season isn't going well in that way, I will go home. So, it doesn't change."

In a bid to dispel the rumours, Guardiola told reporters: "I want to say I am so happy with Sergio, and hopefully he stays here a long time. I hope, from deep in my heart, that Sergio will stay here. I know the strikers depend on the moments, sometimes they're good, but we cannot forget how many goals he has scored for us."
