His second got here after the break, whilst he latched on to Bernardo Silva's cross and beat Willy Caballero with one other actual low finish.
Chelsea, so much now not up to a month into Maurizio Sarri's reign as manager, lacked a presence in assault and managed just one shot on target, a long-range strike via 17-year-old Callum Hudson-Odoi which Claudio Bravo fumbled to safety.
Some in their lethargy going ahead might be positioned down to the heat, which made it tough for equally facets to maintain any kind of tempo.
Players had been allowed water breaks throughout the recreation and a few City gamers sitting on the bench had rainy towels over their heads to attempt to defend them from the intensity of the sunshine.
Sarri was with out his greatest ahead player, with Eden Hazard due once more for post-World Cup pre-season tuition on Monday amid speculation Real Madrid desire to signal him.
City, who won final year's identify via 19 points, had been also with out a few in their stars - with Kevin de Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and David Silva all absent.
But they produced a controlled and green performance to safe their third piece of silverware within the previous six months. The fear for the relaxation of the Premier League is they have the urge for food for more.
Foden and Bernardo Silva star for City
City boss Pep Guardiola was capable to hand a bounce to new £60m ahead Riyad Mahrez but, within the absence of De Bruyne and David Silva, it was Foden and Bernardo Silva who stuck the eye.
Operating on the two section of Fernandinho, as stable as ever on the backside of City's midfield, they seemed to spring ahead at each opportunity.
Foden did precisely that to arrange Aguero's opener, latching on to a cross from Aymeric Laporte and taking complete benefit because the Chelsea defence backed off.
It was a identical tale whilst Silva supplied the help from which Aguero prolonged City's lead in one other lightning ruin wherein the ball travelled from the sting of City's box into the Chelsea internet in a topic of seconds.
Both gamers had been utilised additional ahead final season, but confirmed they might have an element to play in a deeper function within the coming campaign.
Aguero - given the nod over Gabriel Jesus, who stayed on the bench - was as fatal as ever up entrance and had City converted one among a flurry of overdue chances, the scoreline would have been even extra resounding.
Chelsea quick of a scoring threat
It is 78 days on the grounds that Chelsea lifted the FA Cup right the following in Antonio Conte's final act as manager. Sarri has on the grounds that arrived from Napoli because the Blues' eighth permanent boss within the previous 10 years.
Sarri's prime subject is perhaps protecting his stars - as nicely as doubts over Hazard's future, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois can also be needed via Real, and Willian has been linked with Barcelona.
"The performance was now not bad within the primary half but within the second half there was a large difference from a bodily level of view, so we should work," stated Sarri following the defeat.
"I am apprehensive concerning the defensive section - now not the defenders. We should improve, particularly on the different half. I spoke with Willian, Courtois and Hazard in simple terms via phone. Tomorrow morning or afternoon I will talk to them once more but, on this moment, I am confident."
But this screen was proof of the place he desires to strengthen his staff too, with a brand new striker easily higher of his list.
Alvaro Morata was once more underwhelming in entrance of aim and didn't provide his section any kind of focal level going forward.
The Spanish striker in simple terms managed one contact within the City box within the 70 minutes he was on the pitch, a second which also supplied him together with his in simple terms shot at aim - a wild first-half attempt which flew nicely wide.
Hudson-Odoi supplied Chelsea's greatest moments in attack, together with his tempo giving the City defence anything to fear about.
Ross Barkley also inspired early on with a few neat touches, whilst he was seeing lots of the ball in a deeper role, but his impression pale after the break.
In the longer term, Chelsea will easily enhance as they regulate to Sarri's trademark 4-3-3 formation, but on this party they went backwards the longer the recreation went on.
It was a reminder of how a lot work Sarri has to do - however the nice information is he won't should play City each week.
