Manchester City were cruising at Villa Park and Kun Aguero did not take long to join the party. He ended up sealing Villa's fate with a good goal. It was a great goal, but also an error by the Villa keeper. The goal also made him the joint fifth top scorer in Premier League history.

It was, despite everything, one of the goals of the weekend in England. The Argentinian striker picked up the ball near the penalty area, he reached the edge of the box unopposed and then hit it. 

He struck a unstoppable strike for the keeper Nyland, who, without doubt, could have done more. The violence of the shot surprised him, but he hardly made an attempt to stop it. 

However, it was not just another goal. It was not for Aguero anyway as that was his 175th goal in the Premier League. Why was it so important? Because he went level with a legend like Thierry Henry. 

The French striker scored 175 goals in 258 matches for Arsenal while Aguero, who ended up going back Henry as he scored another in the same match, Man City's fifth. He is now the fifth highest goalscorer in the Premier League. 

His next target is Frank Lampard with 177 goals. Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney and Andy Cole are the top three on the list.
