The Argentina international hit his century against Rafael Benitez's men on Tuesday, becoming the second fastest man to reach the landmark, behind only Alan Shearer.
Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has scored his 100th Premier League goal Tuesday against Newcastle United at St. James' Park.
The Argentina international opened the scoring for the visitors after 16 minutes, heading home Aleksandar Kolarov's free kick, despite appearing to be offside, to become the 25th player to net a century of Premier League goals.
Aguero had grabbed a hat trick against Chelsea on Saturday to take his tally to 99 from 146 appearances ahead of the trip to face Rafael Benitez's struggling side.
