Man City boss Pellegrini: Aguero in top 5 players in world

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini says Sergio Aguero is now inside the top five players in the world.

City were trailing 1-0 at Sunderland last night when Aguero smashed in the equaliser with a fierce drive from 16 yards. That set City on the road to a 4-1 victory with the Argentina striker completing the rout as he side?footed home James Milner's pass.

It took Aguero's tally to the season to 19 goals and Pellegrini thinks he can get even better.

"He is just 26 years old and he can improve every day," said the City boss. "I think he is in the five top players in the world. He is scoring but he is also playing well."
