Sergio Aguero hailed by Manchester City team-mates Ilkay Gundogan and Raheem Sterling as 'goal machine' closes in on club record

Manchester City's stars have hailed 'goal machine' Sergio Aguero as vital to the Etihad Stadium outfit's quest for glory this term.

The Argentina hitman claimed his sixth Premier League hat-trick on Saturday as City hammered Watford 6-0 at Vicarage Road.

The 29-year-old needs just three more goals to break City's all-time scoring record, held by Eric Brook with 177 strikes since 1939.
