Wow.
Sergio Aguero put in an incredible performance today, scoring five goals in 20 minutes as Manchester City trashed Newcastle United 6-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
The Argentine had been in patchy form thus far this season, scoring just one Premier League goal and looking a bit rusty following his summer exploits in the Copa America.
However, Aguero showed his class this afternoon, and was in devastating form against Newcastle. The 27 year became only the fifth player in Premier League history to score five goals in a single game.

In addition to breaking records, Aguero broke the hearts of both long suffering Newcastle fans, and Fantasy Football players who either took the player off captain’s duty, or sold him from their team.
He also effectively broke Fantasy Football’s website, as it briefly couldn’t handle the amount of people logging on to check their points total.
Got rid of Sergio Aguero a few weeks ago. This was always going to happen, wasn't it? #FantasyFootball

Sergio Aguero with a hat-trick.

This was Aguero’s performance after 33 minutes.
It's fair to say Sergio Aguero is having a quiet day so far…

And less than an hour later.
Sergio Aguero hit his 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th goals of the match in 13 crazy second half minutes.

Amazingly, this Fantasty Football player somehow predicted Aguero’s five goals back on Thursday.

However, he kept Aguero in his team, and he still scored five goals. Result.
