Aguero calmly sent Adrian the wrong way from the spot, before a miserable day for Jenkinson got worse as he came off with an injury, giving Sam Byram, signed last week from Leeds United, an earlier than expected debut.

Manuel Pellegrini says Yaya Toure needs to commit to the club until the end of the season.
15 points from a possible 30 is only the ninth-best record in the Premier League.
When asked if Aguero had painted an ideal picture of Manchester to Argentina team-mate and Ballon d’Or victor Lionel Messi, the City man revealed he had in fact discussed his adopted hometown with the Barcelona forward. And he insisted he will cash in with plenty of goals when he gets his sharpness back.
Alex Song was just off-target with a long-range effort as West Ham continued to trouble City, who brought on Raheem Sterling and Kelechi Iheanacho in an attempt to reverse the momentum. They will be getting both Fernandinho and Eliaquim Mangala back from injury after they’d missed the past few games.
“It’s all about carrying on in the same way, playing in the same way and to try and keep on winning”.
“You’re working hard in the gym so it could be that”. Aguero’s form is key to City’s success, and with the Argentine set to be even more match fit this weekend, a goal for the forward is more than likely.
Aguero has scored 120 goals in 185 appearances during his four-and-a-half years at the Etihad, but in each season has endured absences through niggling injuries.
“It’s always nice when your manager, or in fact anyone, speaks of you in a positive way”.
“If you win it, it’s because you were the best team”.
“It’s alright him saying words, but I have to back that up out there on the field to prove that what he’s saying is true”.
Manchester City must learn to kill off opponents in the wake of Saturday’s 2-2 draw at West Ham, according to Gael Clichy.
“I hope Kun continues in the same way he played in the last game”.
Manchester City striker Aguero said he had extolled the virtues of England’s northwest city to his compatriot and Barcelona forward who is the most valuable player in the game.
