Published on August 25, 2019, Manchester City's Sergio Aguero bagged a brace, while David Silva marked his 400th appearance for the team by playing a crucial role in all three goals as the champions won 3-1 at Bournemouth on Sunday.
First-half efforts from Aguero and Raheem Sterling ensured Pep Guardiola's side led at the interval, despite a stunning free-kick reply from Bournemouth's Harry Wilson.
Argentina striker Aguero wrapped up City's second Premier League victory of the season with his second goal of the game after half-time.
David Silva, who announced this will be his last season at the Etihad Stadium, demonstrated his value to the team with his contribution to City's goals.
For the opening goal, Silva operated as the fulcrum towards the start of the move, finding Oleksandr Zinchenko on the left, allowing the left-back to drill in the low cross that eventually led to Aguero's finish.
His contribution to the second goal was even more eye-catching, with his superbly weighted ball picking out Sterling's darting run into the box before the England attacker struck past keeper Aaron Ramsdale.
Manchester City maintained control of the game, despite Bournemouth's positive start and a stunning free-kick from Harry Wilson.
