Aguero joins Henry, Rooney in 150 club with landmark goal


Sergio Aguero joined a special club after scoring his 150th Premier League goal for Manchester City. The Argentine is only the third player in the Premier League era to reach the goal tally for a single club.


Aguero etched his name into history after finding the back of the net during City's league clash against Southampton on Sunday.

Only Arsenal icon Thierry Henry and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney had scored 150 league goals for a single club prior to Aguero's strike against the Saints.

Aguero still has some way to go if he wants to catch both players, though, with Henry having scored 175 in total for Arsenal, while Rooney netted 183 for United.

The forward scored on what was also his 217th league appearance for City, who he joined from Atletico Madrid in 2011.

And only Alan Shearer managed to score 150 league goals in less games than Aguero, with the former Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers man needing just 212 matches to do so.
