Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero just does not waste any time. It took him just 48 seconds to find the back of the net today against Arsenal, in what is the Premier League weekend’s headliner fixture. Against Newcastle United in midweek, it took him only 24 seconds to achieve a scoring strike.
He now has the two fastest goals scored in the Premier League this season. Have a watch below:

Laurent Kosciely would later equalize for the visitors in the 11′ before Aguero bagged his second in the 44′. That’s now where he stand currently, City up 2-1 at halftime. There is a whole lot at stake in this match as City are currently five points behind Liverpool for the league lead and one behind Tottenham Hotspur, who played and won yesterday.
As for Arsenal, they dropped behind Manchester United into sixth place, by a one point gap after the Red Devils beat Leicester City earlier today. With a win, they could pull level on points with fourth place Chelsea.
