Aguero equals Shearer's all-time Premier League hat-trick record with treble against Chelsea

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has equalled Alan Shearer's Premier League record of 11 hat-tricks following his 56-minute treble against Chelsea on Sunday.

The Argentina star struck twice in the first half at Etihad Stadium and added a third with a penalty to put City 5-0 up soon after the interval and earn a share of top spot alongside former Southampton, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United striker Shearer.

Shearer, who is the Premier League’s all-time top scorer, notched the last of his 11 Premier League hat-tricks 20 years ago for the Magpies in September 1999.
