Sergio Aguero's sensational treble against Aston Villa was all he needed to move above Arsenal legend Thierry Henry as the most prolific overseas player in the history of Premier League.
The Argentine hitman shared with fans some flashes of his long-established killer instinct after Man City thrashed their league rivals to keep hope alive on the league log.
The massive 6-1 victory saw Aguero move his EPL tally to 177 and grab his 12th treble as he also moved one ahead of the league's all-time goalscorer Alan Shearer.
The 31-year-old Argentine forward reached the significant landmark of his career in 255 appearances-- three fewer games than the Frenchman who made his in 258 games.
