Sergio Aguero s last Premier League goal had come 417 days ago against Sheffield United
Sergio Aguero scored his first Premier League goal since January 2020 as Manchester City extended their lead at the top of the Premier League with a win at struggling Fulham.
The result sees Pep Guardiola s side move 17 points clear at the summit, with second-placed Manchester United having two games in hand.
For the Cottagers it represents a dent to their survival hopes after they missed the opportunity to move out of the bottom three, which is compounded by the fact they have played more games than both Brighton and Newcastle - the sides directly above them.

There was a game still to be won, yet for a brief moment he couldn’t stop himself from picturing the scenes in the living rooms of friends and family back home in Derry.
