Sergio Aguero equalled Manchester City’s all-time scoring
record after netting a penalty in the first half of his side’s Premier League
home game against Burnley on Saturday.
It was the Argentina striker’s 177th goal in City’s colours,
taking him level with Eric Brook, who played for the club between 1928 and
1939.
Aguero, 29, struck from the spot in the 30th minute at the
Etihad Stadium after Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope was adjudged to have fouled
Bernardo Silva.
He was making his first start since breaking a rib in a car
crash in Amsterdam three weeks ago.
Aguero joined City from Atletico Madrid in 2011 and has
contributed to two Premier League title triumphs and two League Cup successes
during his time at the club.
He etched his name in City folklore in his first season by
scoring the 94th-minute winner against Queens Park Rangers on the final day
that saw his side snatch the title from arch rivals Manchester United.
