Pep Guardiola cries as Sergio Aguero breaks Wayne Rooney record and bows out with 184 Premier League goals as Man City thrash Everton and celebrate title Anton Stanley Updated: 23rd May 2021, 7:52 pm
It’s been one of the most legendary Premier League careers but Sergio Aguero’s time with Manchester City is now at an end.
He lifted the league title for a fifth time after his side’s 5-0 win over Everton at the Etihad Stadium in front of 10,000 fans, having netted twice as a second half substitute.
And those strikes saw him break Wayne Rooney’s record of goals scored by a Premier League player at a single club, with the double taking him to 184 at the Etihad.

(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Liverpool and Chelsea claimed the last two remaining UEFA Champions League spots in Sunday’s English Premier League (EPL) finale.
Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at Anfield from Sadio Mane’s brace to place third behind Manchester City and Manchester United while Chelsea could afford a 1-2 loss at Aston Villa.
The Blues finished fourth because FA Cup winners Leicester City blew a 2-1 lead in the final 14 minutes in a 4-2 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.
MANCHESTER, United Kingdom: In just five magical minutes, Sergio Aguero displayed the cunning and class that has left many baffled as to why Manchester City have decided to dispense with his services - and why Barcelona are poised to land an absolute bargain.
A tearful Pep Guardiola said the striker was irreplaceable as he paid tribute following his two goals in the 5-0 win over Everton.
“He has this gift that his mum and dad gave him, or God, and he will always have it,” said the City manager.
Based on Aguero’s devastating display against the Toffees on Sunday, it was still hard to fathom how he will be allowed to leave for nothing when his contract ends next month.
