Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini was delighted for Sergio Aguero after he netted a hat-trick on Sunday.

The Argentine ace took his Premier League season tally to 25 goals with a treble in the 6-0 thrashing of bottom-placed QPR, which condemned the Londoners to the Championship, and gave Aguero a five-goal lead on his nearest rival Harry Kane.

"For Kun [Aguero] it is very important for him to score, he wants to win the top scorer for the season," Pellegrini told Sky Sports of Aguero who is now almost certain to win the Golden Boot award.

"But also the way Kun is playing, he is working more, moving more and receiving more balls.

"I am very pleased because we play a complete game, not only because we score six goals, but also we keep a clean sheet against a team that take risks to try to play with two strikers."

Along from Aguero's hat-trick, City had goals from Aleksandar Kolarov, James Milner and David Silva as they produced their 22nd victory of the season.
