It took a world-class first touch and an arguable handball, but Manchester City finally found an equalizer against Queens Park Rangers just before the interval.

The opening 45 minutes saw referee Mike Dean assign a number of controversial calls. Charlie Austin had two goals disallowed within one minute, the first of which was ruled offside and the second of which was called off as Joe Hart was deemed to have touched the ball twice on a botched free kick.

Even Austin's eventual go-ahead goal was viewed as questionable as he appeared to be have been in offside position before slotting the ball past Joe Hart.

Fast forward to the 32nd minute. After receiving a long ball from Eliaquim Mangala, Sergio Aguero proceeded to control the ball with an unbelievable first touch before taking out Steven Caulker with some equally impressive dribbling skills before drawing City level.

As you'll see, one of Aguero's touches may have been made with his arm.

Regardless of whether or not the goal should have stood, Aguero has been a beast in front of goal as of late.
