Sergio Aguero has found a way to make history in the 2018-19 Premier League season, but he missed out on the possibility of making history for Manchester City while at it.
The Argentine ace scored the fastest goal in the ongoing EPL campaign, as he found the back of the net in just 24 seconds against Newcastle. If that was not enough, "El Kun" extended his dominance over the Magpies with this goal, raising his tally to 14 goals when he is up against the black-and-white team.
Here's how Aguero's stats compare to those put up by other strikers against the Magpies.

Unfortunately for Aguero, he'll have to be quicker if he wants to become the fastest goalscorer in EPL history for Manchester City.
24 - Sergio Aguero's goal after 24 seconds was the fastest Manchester City have scored in a Premier League game since Jesus Navas scored after 13 seconds against Tottenham Hotspur in November 2013. Rapid. pic.twitter.com/bbMqk4cwAW
