Sergio Aguero has matched Alan Shearer’s haul for most Premier League hat-tricks.
The Manchester City striker sealed his 11th in Sunday’s drubbing of Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium to move level with the Newcastle legend.
Aguero’s 10th and 11th hat-tricks in City blue in the league came within the space of seven days of each other having hit three against Arsenal last Sunday.
The Argentina international missed from a yard out following Raheem Sterling’s opener but made up for that with a stunning effort from range after 13 minutes.
A huge error from Ross Barkley allowed the 30-year-old to swoop in for his second, latching onto the Chelsea midfielder’s explicable header back towards his own goal.
11 minutes into the second-half he completed his hat-trick, sending Kepa Arrizabalaga the wrong way from the penalty spot.
Barring the unlikeliest of comebacks, City will move back to the summit of the Premier League on goal difference, having played one more game than Liverpool.
