November 1, 2017 will go down in history as the day when Sergio Aguero became Manchester City's all-time top scorer.
In what turned out to be a pretty close match between Napoli and the Citizens, Pep Guardiola's men managed to fight back after having two leads taken away from them, winning 4-2 against the Italian side and sealing their spot in the KO Stage of the UEFA Champions League.
The Argentinean striker broke Man City's goal scoring record with 20 minutes left to play, breaking the tie between himself and Eric Brook at 177 goals apiece.

Aguero has been quite a signing for the Citizens, considering that very few teams have been able to escape a meeting against the striker without conceding.
Sergio Aguero has scored against 48 of the 54 teams he's faced for Manchester City. 30 out of 31 in the Premier League.

A brilliant, ruthless striker and what a time to do it. Away from home, in a key Champions League game. Bravo
Take Aguero off. Totally redundant performance.

City will mark Aguero's record ahead of Arsenal on Sunday - with the man who might've replaced him this summer in attendance - Sanchez
