Sergio Aguero scored a hat-trick as Manchester City sealed Queens Park Rangers’ relegation from the English Premier League with a 6-0 victory at Eastlands on Sunday.

The thrashing left QPR bottom of the table, nine points adrift of safety and with only a maximum of six available to the west London club from their final two league games of this season.

By contrast, victory saw deposed champions City stay second behind title-winners Chelsea and secure their place in next season’s Champions League.

“We came here with a lot of hope, shot ourselves in the foot and gave away three set pieces which they scored from,” QPR manager Chris Ramsey said.

“On the day we didn’t really turn up and they [City] are a very good team ... we really feel sorry for the travelling fans,” added Ramsey.

Ramsey, asked if he wanted the QPR job on a permanent basis, said: “Yes. I really do. It’s a club I’ve taken to my heart.”

Aguero’s treble cemented his position as the Premier League’s top scorer this season, the Argentina forward’s tally for the campaign now standing at 25 goals.
