What Sergio Aguero told Man City hero Vincent Kompany before wonder goal

Sergio Aguero told Vincent Kompany not to shoot before he scored the goal that can potentially claim Man City the Premier League title against Leicester City.

City were in desperate need of a winner and were being left frustrated by the Foxes who were defending well and proving a real threat on the counter.

The atmosphere inside the Etihad was tense, the players looked as though they were wilting under the pressure and then the captain stepped up to save the day.

Kompany received the ball over 30 yards from goal and after steading himself decided to let fly and send an absolute rocket straight into the top corner.

It was a simply unbelievable goal but Aguero - like no doubt the majority of City supporters - told him not to shoot, but he thankfully did.

The Argentine was caught on cameras after the game talking to Kompany and can be heard saying "I said to you don't shoot, no Vinny no!"

It was a good job he did because the wonder goal won the game for City and put them back on the top of the Premier League above Liverpool and now City just need to beat Brighton on the final day to retain the Premier League.
