Although he was willing to rip a few more balls into the net, he was still grateful to be added to the group of players to score five goals in one Premier League match.
Victory lifted City on to 18 points, two ahead of Manchester United who play at Arsenal tomorrow.
All five of his goals came in a 20-minute period, and the Chilean manager is adamant that the 27-year-old deserves to be held in similar esteem as the Primera Liga titans.
Newcastle, who are still without a league win this season, had chances to extend their lead after £13m striker Mitrovic scored his first goal since joining the club in the summer. Shortly after he was determined to get his hat-trick, and he did just that.
“I think that this team is in that way [headed] and I’m very happy for us that in Kun we have a very important player”. Today he made a complete game’.
A volley from Kevin de Bruyne gave Manchester United a 3 goal lead, making it 4-1.
While Aguero deservedly won the plaudits, Joe Hart’s contribution shouldn’t be forgotten.
Manchester City looked like they could score with every opportunity, but Aguero was withdrawn in the 65th minute and the game slowed down a bit after it.
In the first half we came here to win.
This, though, was the fastest five-goal haul in the league’s history and perhaps the most impressive. “It wasn’t – we have to react better to goals that go in”.
“I am very happy for Kun,”Pellegrini told reporters afterwards”.
Chelsea, the defending champion, appeared to be on its way when Willian scored in the 10th minute. Cabaye then, converted a late penalty for the second goal.
A solitary strike from Marko Arnautovic saw Stoke take the points at Aston Villa, who remain in the bottom three after failing to find a way past Jack Butland. The match ended 1-1 draw after full debutant Glenn Murray failed to convert a penalty, after scoring the opener.
Mourinho vowed not to walk away and guaranteed a top-four finish.
UNITED will learn from their first eight games of the season and improve after the global break.
Steve McClaren is a big one for positive thinking and interesting to see this runs right through the club, down to the Academy Under 18s Coach, Dave Watson.
“The message is that the results are the fault of the manager”. Palace climbed to third.
There was more gloom than light at the Stadium of Light where Sunderland, who like their north east neighbours Newcastle are still without a win, drew 2-2 with West Ham United after being 2-0 up.

“I thought the lads were excellent and you can see that they are improving week by week”.
