Sergio Aguero becomes the fifth player to score five goals in a single Premier League Match.

Manchester City were in high mood against Newcastle and Argentina striker Aguero was the man of the match has he scored five goals in just 20 minutes and 27 seconds as City demolished Newcastle 6-1 at the Etihad. Aguero's five-goal haul is the fastest in Premier League history after levelling the score with his first in the 42nd minute and his fifth coming in the 62^nd.

Aguero joins the likes of Andy Cole, Alan Shearer, Jermain Defoe and Dimitar Berbatov on the short list players to achieve the feat in the Premier League era. Cole was the first player to score five in one game when he put Ipswich to the sword as Manchester United ran out 9-0 winners in March 1995. Alan Shearer was the next man to hit five in a Premier League game as Newcastle beat Sheffield Wednesday 8-0 in September 1999. Defoe took only 36 minutes to grab five against Wigan at White Hart Lane in November 2009 as Tottenham ran out 9-1 winners and Berbatov also hit five against Blackburn as Manchester united won 7-1.

Aguero who had not scored in the Premier League since the second weekend of the season is now just one goal behind this season's leading scorer Jamie Vardy.
