Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is delighted with Sergio Aguero's form.

His excellence has made the continued absence of his countryman Carlos Tevez so much easier to bear for City.

That is a big relief for Mancini who admits he is delighted but not surprised by the form of his £35million summer signing.

Mancini said: "He has done very well, he has scored a lot of goals in his first year here. I know he can improve and he can score more goals."
