Sergio
Aguero has stressed the importance of Manchester City keeping up the winning
habit as they pursue Premier League leaders Chelsea.
Aguero's 63rd-minute goal steered City to a 1-0 victory over local rivals
Manchester United on Sunday, and it leaves Manuel Pellegrini's third-placed
men six points behind unbeaten leaders Chelsea, who have taken 26 points
from a possible 30 this term.
The win over United came after back-to-back defeats for City, in the Premier
League to West Ham and then the Capital One Cup to Newcastle.
Aguero told City TV: "It is important to win. Chelsea are doing very well
and they keep winning but we have to go on and I'm sure they will drop some
points.
"They play at Liverpool next weekend and we will see if they drop points but
the important thing is that we have to win games."
Aguero's clinical finish from Gael Clichy's cut-back took the 26-year-old
Argentina international to 10 Premier League goals for the campaign.
He is currently the division's top scorer, but Aguero's focus is on the
points he can help the team gain rather than individual accolades.
"There is a long way to go," he said when asked about leading the scoring
charts.
"It's important to continue like that and it is important that all the goals
mean that we win games. I always say that goals are great when they mean
victories."
