Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero successfully entered the Premier League's history book for his heroics in Sunday's encounter with Aston Villa. The Argentine forward scored a hat-trick to break two existing league records in the Citizen's 6-1 cruise inside Villa Park.
In what was a resounding win for Man City, Aguero found his way onto the scoresheet in the 28th minute after Riyad Mahrez had grabbed a two-goal advantage for the visitors. The 31-year-old striker fired home from outside Villa's penalty to make it 3-0 in the 28th minute before Jesus tapped in City's fourth.
Inside the 58th minute, Aguero grabbed his second of the day with a neat finish before completing his hat-trick in the 81st minute. Anwar El Ghazi pulled one back for the hosts through a spot-kick in the 91st minute.
