The predatory finish - Aguero ghosted in between a pair of 'Boro defenders to get his studs on a pinpoint ball from playmaker extraordinaire Kevin De Bruyne - saw the 28-year-old become just the sixth player to ever reach the 150-goal plateau with the Manchester club.

| 3 | Colin Bell (ENG) | 1966-1979 | 153 |

Eric Brook's stranglehold on the all-time club mark becomes more tenuous with each passing week, and if Aguero can remain healthy - not a guaranteed given his checkered injury history - he should be able to claim the record for himself in the foreseeable future.
