Aguero, Hartson and more: Twitter reacts as Man City thrash Tottenham
Sergio Agüero and John Hartson both tweet their thoughts as Manchester City put six past sorry Tottenham at Etihad Stadium
Manchester City moved up to fourth place in the Premier League table thanks to a 6-0 demolition of Tottenham Hotspur at Etihad Stadium.
Jesus Navas broke the deadlock inside 14 seconds, before Sandro put the ball into his own net and Sergio Agüero made it 3-0 before the break.
The Argentina international then bagged his 10th goal of the season shortly after half-time, before Alvaro Negredo and Navas polished off the victory.
The thrashing inevitably prompted a flurry of activity on Twitter – and here are our favourite updates, in chronological order.
Wigan midfielder James Mcarthur (@jamesmcarthur16) has been impressed by City’s Argentina international: “Aguero is unplayable at times #joytowatch”
QPR’s Joey Barton (@Joey7Barton) lays into Lewis Holtby as City go 2-0 up: “What is Holtby doing, seriously? Watch his movement when Dawson closes ball down. What’s is he doing? Game over.”
And so does former Liverpool man Dietmar Hamann @DietmarHamann): “What was Holtby doing for Citys 2nd goal?”
Blackpool winger Thomas Ince (@RealThomasInce) is getting news of the thrashing: “Wow what am I hearing…. City 3-0 up…. Aguero causing havoc”
Ex-Arsenal striker Ian Wright (@IanWright0) chimes in after City go 3-0 up: “Uh oh !!!”
Lord Sugar (@Lord_Sugar) tries to see the funny side of the half-time scoreline: “Adebayor warming up. ok we are safe? Can’t wait for Ray Winston to get us the odds of Spurs win 4-3 in the ad break”
Former Arsenal man John Hartson (@JohnHartson10) is shocked by Spurs’ poor performance: “How much did AVB spend in the summer, was it over £100 million waw.. His team look absolutely toothless here..”
Hamann (@DietmarHamann) feels City could soon take a grip on the Premier League table: “Another demolition job at the Etihad. If they start playing half as well away from home they could still run away with the league.”
Striker Sergio Aguero (@aguerosergiokun) calls on the Citizens to reproduce similar displays on their travels: “Very happy for the victory, and even more for the great teamwork. This is the way to go! Now let’s do the same away from home!”
