SWANSEA -- Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola insists he will keep pushing Sergio Aguero to deliver more despite his brilliant start to the season.
Aguero scored his 10th and 11th goals of the season in the 3-1 victory over Swansea City that extended Guardiola's side's lead at the top to four points.
The Argentine's goals -- his first a brilliant turn and powerful finish that gave keeper Lukas Fabianski no chance, while his second was a Panenka penalty -- have come from just six games but the City boss wants the striker to contribute even more, particularly after a difficult afternoon against a stubborn Swansea side.
"Congratulations of course for his first goal, for the personality for the penalty, a lot of goals in the games," Guardiola told a news conference.
"I'm so happy for him, but he knows that I want more, he can play better, he can make other things that are going to help us. I will try, I will try to help him to develop his abilities as a football player.
"[I want him] to be involved in our game, in our process, and keep the ball, and help us. Of course in the box I cannot help him, he's going to help us a lot in the box, he's magnificent, the first goal, the first control, how quick he makes the first steps and then his finish..."
City made it a perfect 10 wins out of 10 against Swansea -- six in the Premier League -- but an injury to Kevin De Bruyne was the only blemish on the afternoon.
