Manchester City's stars have hailed 'goal machine' Sergio Aguero as vital to the Etihad Stadium outfit's quest for glory this term.
The Argentina hitman claimed his sixth Premier League hat-trick on Saturday as City hammered Watford 6-0 at Vicarage Road.
The 29-year-old needs just three more goals to break City's all-time scoring record, held by Eric Brook with 177 strikes since 1939.
