On 64 minutes the Etihad Stadium rose to acclaim Sergio Aguero’s entrance as Manchester City’s record scorer trotted out in the club colours for the 389th and final time. The 10,000 returning fans had been granted what they so wanted by Pep Guardiola: a last sight of the goalscoring genius to crown this title-celebration jamboree.
City were already cruising thanks to strikes from Kevin De Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus and Phil Foden. Agüero delivered, scoring twice to take his City total to 260, 183 of those in the Premier League. That moves him ahead of Wayne Rooney at Manchester United for the most goals in the competition for a single club.
