This included a second career Premier League hat-trick vs Newcastle, both of which came at the Etihad Stadium. The other two came against Leicester and Huddersfield Town respectively, all of which were at home.
Of Aguero’s 12 Premier League hat-tricks, only three were scored on the road, including his last at Villa Park. Whilst Aguero’s record may well be beaten in the future, possibly by fellow Man City star Erling Haaland, his legacy will always remain.
