Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini was delighted with Sergio Aguero's performance in victory over West Bromwich Albion.
Aguero was missing as the team were held to costly draws by Stoke and Sunderland because of a foot injury that was exacerbated by a treatment spray.
Mancini said: "I have always said he is our best striker and I was really upset to lose him for two games. That was like United losing (Wayne) Rooney."
