Aguero scored his third from the penalty spot De Bruyne and Aguero broke from a Chelsea corner, and when the Belgian teed up his team-mate, Aguero cut inside and fired home off Cahill from the edge of the box.With Chelsea on the back foot, only a last-ditch tackle from Cahill prevented Aguero from doubling Citys lead two minutes before the break.The Blues started the second half brightly as they searched for a route back into the match, but were caught on the break again as City extended their advantage nine minutes after half-time.The impressive De Bruyne, returning to his former club, was involved before Nasri found Aguero, who made no mistake for his 20th league goal of the season. Aguero followed up his penalty miss against PSG with a successful spot-kick against Chelsea He didnt have to wait long for his 21st, as City made the game safe from the spot with 10 minutes to play. Fernandinho broke into the Chelsea area and was upended by Courtois, leaving referee Mike Dean no choice but to issue the red card and award a penalty.Aguero, who missed against Paris Saint-Germain in midweek, sent substitute goalkeeper Asmir Begovic the wrong way to seal his hat-trick.Chelsea had felt hard done by six minutes before Citys third, when referee Dean waved away a penalty appeal after Kenedy appeared to be tripped by De Bruyne in the area.
