Intro:

Sergio Aguero inspired Manchester City to a 4-1 English Premier League win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English): Manuel Pellegrini, Manchester City manager

(is Sergio Aguero currently the best striker?)

"I don't know because there are a lot of good strikers but I said before the last game that I am sure he is one of the best five players in the world because he is not just scoring, he is playing very well."

SOUNDBITE (English): Gus Poyet, Sunderland manager:

"He (Aguero) is unique. At this moment in time he is one of the top three on-form strikers. He is performing week in - week out against everyone, home or away or any level. It could be us or Bayern Munich and it shows how good he is."

SOUNDBITE (English): Manuel Pellegrini, Manchester City manager:

"Well I always say it is impossible to know who will be the champions this year when you have to play 26 or 27 games more, one or two weeks ago. I think that if we continue playing this way, we will fight for the title. Chelsea is playing very well also but I don't think we are just two teams fighting for the title. I think that with so many points, we can have three or four teams that will also be involved in that thing."

SOUNDBITE (English): Manuel Pellegrini, Manchester City manager:

"I think that we are returning to our performance that we had last season, especially after we beat Bayern Munich, I think that the trust of the team is different. We have our ... especially our midfield, our normal performers ... they are very technical players. When they play in that way - with one touch and move the ball quickly - we are going to return to be a very strong team."
