Aguero gave Manchester City the edge over Championship side Bristol City in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final at the Etihad on Tuesday.

The Premier League leaders took to the field the firm favorites with the Cityzen's strength and depth far bigger than their second tier counterparts, who recorded a famous win in the previous round when they dumped out Manchester United, 2-1.

City, who have dished out a string of maulings in an impressive league campaign, had to wait until the 92nd minute to grab the 2-1 win when Argentine substitute Aguero darted in to head a goal home.

The visitors took a shock lead when Bobby Reid fired home a penalty after he was brought down by Jon Stones on 44 minutes.

Kevin De Bruyne's equalized soon after the break turned the tide and City then laid siege to their opponents' defense in the closing stages.

A fantastic effort from the Robins who have a vital away goal going into the second leg Wednesday.
