Sergio Aguero moves one step closer to Manchester City history... But a less selfless display would have seen him equal Eric Brook's goalscoring record

One down, one to go. Sergio Aguero will become Manchester City's all-time top goalscorer soon enough. Just not this weekend.

Goal No.176 duly arrived against Crystal Palace at the Etihad but Aguero still remains one adrift of Eric Brook's record set 78 years ago.

It arrived in the 80th minute of another handsome win for Pep Guardiola's side after what, until then, had been a frustrating afternoon for the little Argentine.

Man of the match Leroy Sane swung over a cross from the left and Mamadou Sakho's unsuccessful attempt to cut it out left Aguero unmarked eight yards from goal.
