HOW AGUERO SCORED 100 GOALS

Sergio Aguero scores his 100th Premier League goal with opener for Manchester City against Newcastle

• Sergio Aguero found the back of the net for 100th time in Premier League
• Headed home Manchester City's opener against Newcastle on Tuesday
• Second fastest to reach the landmark behind Alan Shearer 
• 
• Sergio Aguero became the 25th player to score 100 goals in the Premier League on Tuesday night when he headed home Manchester City's opener against Newcastle.
  The Argentine, who scored his first on his debut for the club in August 2011, glanced home Aleksandar Kolarov's inviting free-kick after 14 minutes.
  The 27 year-old has reached the landmark in only his 147th league game for the club, making him the second fastest to the feat behind Alan Shearer.Aguero arrived at the Etihad Stadium in July 2011 from Atletico Madrid, having plundered 101 goals in 234 games for the La Liga club.
  Roberto Mancini was the man in charge who sanctioned the £38million move for Diego Maradona's son-in-law, and was instantly rewarded by the Argentine hot-shot.
  Aguero made his Premier League debut on August 15, 2011 as a second-half substitute for Nigel de Jong.
  With City 1-0 up against new boys Swansea, Aguero wreaked havoc, scoring twice and setting up David Silva in a 4-0 win.
  A prolific opening campaign in England, in which he scored 23 times in 34 appearances, was bookended by the dramatic 95th winner against QPR which snatched the title away from Manchester United on the final day.
  A disappointing second season followed, with only 12 goals in 30 as Mancini paid for City's limp title defence with the sack in May.
  Manuel Pellegrini's arrival restored Aguero's eye-for-goal, and he was to score 17 goals in an injury-hit third season.
  A year later the Golden Boot followed for the Argentine as he struck 26 times across the season.
  Tuesday night's goal has taken him to 22 in 27 already in his fifth season at the club.
