Napoli 2-4 Manchester City: Sergio Aguero becomes all-time record scorer as Pep Guardiola's side progress into Champions League knock-out stages

What a way to break the record and what a place to do it. At the Stadio San Paolo where his erstwhile father-in-law Diego Maradona is still worshipped as a demi-god, Sergio Aguero ascended to greatness when he became Manchester City’s top scorer of all-time.

Aguero has stood level with 1930s star Eric Brook on 177 goals for 12 days, but it was only a matter of time before he claimed a place in history all for himself.

When the opportunity arrived in the 69th minute of his 264th appearance for City, Aguero did not let his team or himself down.
