Aguero joins select company with 150th Manchester City goal
Sergio Aguero is still scaling the mountain.
The Argentine goal merchant continues to cement his reputation as one of the most prolific attackers to ever don Manchester City blue, withAguero finding the net for the 150th time as a Citizen in Saturday's visit of Middlesbrough.
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.

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.
