Fernando Llorente cancelled out Aguero’s ninth-minute opener, and although Swansea have now gone four games without a league win, under-pressure boss Francesco Guidolin could take some satisfaction from seeing his side produce their best performance of a testing campaign.

Manchester City’s Argentinian striker Sergio Aguero plays the ball during the English Premier League football match between Swansea City and Manchester City at The Liberty Stadium in Swansea, south Wales on September 24, 2016.

“In terms of passing, I have been playing in the Premier League for five or six seasons now and I don’t think I have played against a team that treats the ball as well as they do with their rotation and movement”, said Britton.

But the £55m playmaker will now miss some crucial games – starting with Wednesday’s Champions League showdown at Celtic.

“We arrived many, many times with (Kevin) De Bruyne, (David) Silva and (Ilkay) Gundogan but it was fantastic that we were in that situation so often but didn’t make the final pass, but then we got the penalty and then a third goal so we were able to win”. “It is a pity because he is an important player”. I try to learn from every manager I work with, and he is a man I definitely learned a lot from. He played me in different positions to help me understand those roles and what it took.

“We are gunning for titles, and we need to keep our heads down and keep going step by step”.

It is an ongoing relationship, we just keep getting better.

PEP GUARDIOLA, City manager, who believes Aguero can play even better.

“I trust a lot with Bacary Sagna, I trust a lot with Pablo Zabaleta”, he said.
