STOKE, England -- Sergio Aguero rediscovered his accuracy from the penalty spot in scoring one of his two goals for Manchester City in a 4-1 win at Stoke in the Premier League on Saturday.The Argentina striker failed to score from two penalties in a Champions League playoff match on Tuesday, but converted a 27th-minute effort to set City on its way to a second straight league victory to open the season.Aguero then headed in a whipped free kick by Kevin De Bruyne in the 36th for 2-0, making it six goals already this season for Citys star striker.Bojan Krkic pulled a goal back for Stoke from the penalty spot in the 49th, and City fought to preserve its lead in the second half while playing against the wind before substitute Nolito scored two late tap-ins.Both of the penalties in the match -- given at corner-kick situations -- might not have been so readily awarded in previous years, but referees appear to be clamping down at the start of this season under new directives.City got the first penalty when Stoke center back Ryan Shawcross was punished for pulling back Nicolas Otamendi, who had stolen a yard at a corner. Stokes penalty was perhaps softer, with winger Raheem Sterling adjudged to have impeded Shawcross as he attempted to mark the much taller defender without even looking at the ball.As usual this time of the year, theres a directive out there and certain teams might get penalized for that, Stoke manager Mark Hughes said. Thats fine, as long as its consistent right from now and the end of the season. Usually it isnt, so well have to wait and see. That penalty award shook us, really.City manager Pep Guardiola said teams will have to adjust, because the refs are so curious about what happens in the box.City has won its first three matches under Guardiola -- two in the league and the 5-0 victory over Steaua Bucharest in the Champions League playoffs -- and Aguero, in particular, looks to be thriving under the Spanish coach.He scored in last weekends 2-1 win over Sunderland that kicked off the Guardiola era, then a hat trick against Steaua -- despite missing twice from the spot.Aguero retained penalty-taking duties and made no mistake to put City ahead against Stoke, sending former City goalkeeper Shay Given the wrong way. Agueros goal against Sunderland was also a penalty.After Bojan reduced the deficit, Stokes players took a more direct route to put pressure on Citys defense with the wind behind them. Guardiola said Friday that playing at Stoke was the toughest away game in the Premier League, but City held firm.Nolito, one of Citys eight offseason signings, came on for Jesus Navas in the 69th and clinched only Citys second win in nine Premier League trips to Stoke.The Spain forward finished off from inside the six-yard box in the 86th after fellow substitute Kelechi Iheanacho broke through and rounded Given. Then, five minutes into stoppage time, Iheanacho dummied a long ball through and Sterling ran through, before passing sideways to Nolito who stroked the ball into an empty net.Its not easy because we played in midweek, City captain Pablo Zabaleta said, but we produced a great performance and great team spirit from the first minute.

Super middleweight contender Callum Smith, whos in a prime position as the mandatory challenger for the winner of the world title unification fight between James DeGale and Badou Jack, will risk his status.Smith will defend his British title against mandatory challenger Luke Blackledge on the Anthony Joshua-Eric Molina undercard at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England, on Dec. 10, Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn announced Monday.Smith will be making the first defense of the vacant British belt he won by first-round knockout of Rocky Fielding last November. Smith (21-0, 16 KOs), 26, has won three more fights since then, including the European title, but the British title was not on the line.DeGale (23-1, 14 KOs), Smiths British countryman, and Swedens Jack (20-1-2, 12 KOs), a Floyd Mayweather protégé living in Las Vegas, are due to meet Jan. 14 (Showtime) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, to unify their 168-pound world titles. The winners next fight is supposed to come against Smith, as long as he takes care of Blackledge.The WBC have told both fighters (DeGale and Jack) theyve got to sign before the (Jan. 14) fight and the winner has to fight Callum Smith, Hearn told ESPN.Hearn said he would like to have Smith face the winner in May or June and do it outdoors at a stadium in the United Kingdom.With DeGale, its a big fight, Hearn said of what would be an all-British showdown.Smith is content to defend his British title but anxious for the shot at a world title.

He comes to win, hes game and durable, and it promises to be a cracking fight. Im proud to be British champion, and Ill defend it until I can get a fight for a world title.It was good to see James and Badou finally get their fight signed. I was in Washington [D.C.] in April when they both defended their titles and agreed to meet in a unification, and I didnt think it would take this long for the fight to happen. I didnt think Id have three fights before getting my chance to fight for the world title, but theyre ready to fight, and while its been a bit frustrating, Ive been active and learning all the time, and its exciting that I will be fighting for a world title next year.Smith said he aims to take care of Blackledge (22-2-2, 7 KOs), 26, and doesnt care who emerges from DeGale-Jack.Its a win-win for me. If Jack wins itll probably be in [Las] Vegas, and thats every fighters dream to fight for a world title in Vegas, Smith said. But if James wins, which I think he will, then thats a massive domestic fight, and weve seen that the British fans love those events.Blackledge has won eight fights in a row since suffering a first-round knockout loss to Fielding in a Commonwealth super middleweight title bout in November 2013.
