Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was delighted with two goal Sergio Aguero after their 4-0 rout of Brighton.
Aguero, who has scored with each of his last seven shots on target in the top-flight, also provided the assist for substitute Bernardo Silva to score as the champions eased to victory.
"Of course we need his goals, everybody knows it. But even the days he doesn't score, with the commitment - he is like this from day one so I'm happy for him," said Guardiola after the long-serving Argentine, who has been at the club since 2011, took his tally for the season to six.
"He is a special talent who I love from day one. We change many things, but from day one I am delighted about his commitment."
Kevin de Bruyne opened the scoring from close range.
