'Destiny wanted me to score it' - Aguero on the goal which made him Manchester City's record scorer

Sergio Aguero has recalled the goal which made him Manchester City's top scorer of all time, saying that "destiny" can claim an assist in his strike against Napoli in the Champions League.

Aguero bagged his 177th goal in City colours in a 4-2 victory in Naples on November 1, 2017, to break Eric Brooks' 79-year-old club record.

His goal, in the 69th minute of the match, put City 3-2 ahead in Italy and proved to be the winner, although Aguero benefitted from a lucky deflection after team mate Leroy Sane slipped over, before tucking the ball away in his trademark deadly manner.
