City now eight points behind Chelsea
Aguero scores two solo efforts
Demichelis diverts header into his own net
Austin has 2 goals disallowed before scoring
So, it's fair to say Manuel Pellegrini has had better weeks. It started off well enough, with victory over Manchester United last weekend, but defeat to CSKA Moscow on Bonfire Night has all but burnt their hopes of qualification to the next round of the Champions League.

The injured men will be wrapped up in cotton wool for the next 10 days or so.
Right, plenty of reaction to the 3pm goal-fests to come, but now let's turn our attention to the late kick-off in the Premier League.
There was only one boss at St Mary's today...

Chelsea strengthened their grip on the Premier League title race as they came from behind to win at Liverpool earlier today.
Steve Huish, Surbiton: The days of Manchester United comfortably beating teams at Old Trafford are well and truly over. Shows how good Sir Alex Ferguson was, making average team players feel special and winning.
MOTD's Simon Brotherton at Loftus Road
"It was against QPR that Sergio Aguero scored his stoppage-time, title-winning goal a couple of years ago which will always bring a smile to City fans' faces, but this trip to Loftus Road looks trickier than it would have done only a month or so ago.
"Recent results have been patchy, with one win from the last five in all competitions, and Wednesday's performance in the Champions League in losing at home to CSKA Moscow was way below what's expected."
MOTD's Guy Mowbray at Turf Moor
"A lot has been made of Burnley not winning a game this season, but that has all changed now. Ashley Barnes was the goalscorer and it was a much deserved victory for the Clarets."
Graeme, soaking wet, in Wetherby: Pretty boring afternoon in the Premier league. Hopefully the goals, like the rain, will be non-stop in the QPR v Man City game.

Final Score
"Manchester United did just enough to win. Fraizer Campbell had a great chance to put Crystal Palace ahead in the first half, he just had to dink it over David De Gea's head but he lifted it over the net. Juan Mata came on with a point to prove, he scored but Julian Speroni will be disappointed because he should have saved Mata's shot, although it did take a deflection. United did not create many chances again but they have the three points."
Vinny Person:, external Southampton are blowing most of the Premier League away in style and on an incredibly low net spend. Admirable.
Edward Layland:, external Wonder of Morgan Schneiderlin still wants to go to Spurs? Jay Rodriguez might.
Sushant Shetty:, external Van Persie may have given United a title but has hurt us long term. Rooney upfront with Herrera is so much better.
There were 10 bookings dished out by Mark Clattenburg at Turf Moor today - six for Burnley and four for Hill.
Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan applauds the travelling support, he had a storming afternoon between the sticks to repel wave upon wave of West Ham attacks.
Manchester United 1-0 Crystal Palace
Burnley's first win of the season is in the bag. Let the Claret flow.
Andy Carroll has another big header well saved - he's causing havoc!

at Old Trafford for 5 live Sport
"The better team won the match on the day, but Palace had their big chance and Campbell fluffed it just on half-time. Not a lot made it's way through the Palace defence, and apart from the one goal United weren't very convincing."
A sheepish Louis Van Gaal skulks down the touchline. He knows his side were underwhelming again his afternoonn
