Aguero breaks Thiery Henry's EPL record, nets 12th hat-trick

Manchester City forward, Sergio Aguero, has successfully strolled past Arsenal legend, Thiery Henry, on the English Premier League's highest goal scorers' chart.

Aguero also netted his 12th hat-trick to become the highest overseas goalscorer in Premier League history during Manchester City's 6-1 thrashing of struggling Aston Villa.

According to BBC, the Argentine moved level - and then past - Thierry Henry, before joining Frank Lampard on 177 goals in England's top flight.

Aguero still has to beat Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney and Andy Cole - who are still ahead of him, to become the all-time Premier League scorer.

Aguero's number of hat-tricks, 12, is a Premier League record.
