Manchester City duo Sergio Aguero and David Silva take The National Sport front page on Sunday, January 17 after helping their side to a convincing win over Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Two goals from Argentine striker Aguero separated strikes from England midfielder Fabian Delph and Spanish playmaker Silva to move City temporarily top of the Premier League table.

The defeat continued Palace’s poor recent form, with Alan Pardew’s side failing to score in each of their past five games, picking up just two points.

Speaking post-match, City manager Manuel Pellegrini warned his Premier League title rivals that Aguero still has plenty to improve as he strives for match fitness following an injury layoff.
