Vincent Kompany has hailed Sergio Aguero as "a special player" after the forward's hat-trick fired Manchester City to a 3-2 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

The Citizens were on the brink of defeat after Xabi Alonso and Robert Lewandowski goals had handed the Bundesliga champions a 2-1 lead, but Aguero struck twice in the final five minutes to turn the game around.

"It was an awkward game," Kompany told BBC Sport shortly after the final whistle. "They were incredibly lethal and played well with 10 men but we did what we had to do and defeated a big team today.

"If you want to succeed at anything you need to a special player in a special form.

"Sergio Aguero is our special player and when he is in that form he makes things achievable."

Aguero's hat-trick has taken his tally of goals to 17 for the season in all competitions.
