(Reuters) - Sergio Aguero won his personal striking duel with Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane, scoring the winner for Manchester City as they ended a four-game losing streak on the road in the Premier League on Sunday.
With Chelsea already celebrating capturing City’s Premier League title across London, last season’s champions were indebted to Aguero’s sharp-shooting skills and keeper Joe Hart’s agility as they earned a 1-0 win to stay in second place.
Aguero now leads the race for the Premier League’s Golden Boot with 22 goals this season, two more than Kane who endured a frustrating game as the hosts all but kissed goodbye to their already slender top-four hopes.
The Argentine’s goals have proved in vain in trying to keep City on the heels of Chelsea. But his quality was too much for Tottenham as City virtually guaranteed a Champions League berth.
Aguero has now scored 10 times against Tottenham and his latest effort was a gem.
