Sergio Aguero has become the first player to score 200 goals for Manchester City, extending his own club record with the opening goal in the 2018 Community Shield against Chelsea.
Here, WORLD GIST looks at some of his memorable and milestone goals.
An impressive debut, netting twice to launch an ultimately successful title charge with a 4-0 win. First was a tap-in at the back post with a long-range strike doubling his tally.
Showed great composure when through on goal to complete his first hat-trick for City.
Opened the scoring in a 4-0 victory with a long-range shot from outside the box after a driving run, his first of two on the day.
His most famous strike, pouncing deep into injury time as City snatched Premier League title glory in the most dramatic fashion.
Came off the bench to net a late winner at Old Trafford with a superb solo effort.
Brought up his half-century in just his 74th appearance with the first of a double in a 4-1 win over City’s arch-rivals, hooking in a volley from six yards out.
Completed a memorable hat-trick and a famous victory over Pep Guardiola’s Bayern after pouncing on a mistake in the 89th minute.
Notched another landmark goal in a clash with the neighbours by firing a close-range shot through the grasp of David de Gea for the second of another derby double – but it provided consolation only in a 4-2 loss.
Delivered a masterclass in finishing to destroy Newcastle with five goals in the space of 20 minutes, equalling a competition record for the most goals scored by an individual in a match. Were it not for an injury-enforced substitution, he might have had the chance to net a record sixth.
The goal should have been disallowed for offside – but the headed opener in a 1-1 draw at St James’ Park was Aguero’s 100th in the Premier League. Coming in just his 147th Premier League appearance, he was the second-fastest player to reach that milestone behind Alan Shearer – Harry Kane has since split the duo.
Sidefooted home an inviting cross from Kevin De Bruyne.
The goal that saw him become City’s record goalscorer, overtaking Eric Brook’s long-standing tally of 177. Aguero picked up an attack after Leroy Sane was dispossessed, driving forward and shooting home from the edge of the box. Helped City to a memorable victory at the San Paolo stadium.
Headed home a Fernandinho cross to become the first City player to reach 100 goals in games at the Etihad Stadium. It was his first of two on the day.
Aguero’s landmark goal came at Wembley, after good work down the left by Phil Foden.
