“I always say that a goal is only important when we win,” the Argentine striker said, adding, “I am happy as we needed three points to be more comfortable in second position.”
With 16 Premier League goals this season, Aguero is at the second spot in the list of prolific goal-scorers, Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy, who has 17 to his name, tops the chart. Overall, the Argentine has scored 21 goals this season.
On January 12, Aguero scored thrice in match against Aston Villa to become the highest foreign goal-scorer in Premier League history.
The hat-trick from Aguero at Villa Park was his 12th in the Premier League as City thrashed Villa 6-1. However, Alan Shearer with 260 goals, Wayne Rooney with 208, and Andy Cole with 187 are still ahead of Aguero on the all-time Premier League list.
