Sergio Aguero lifted the league title for a fifth time after his side’s 5-0 win over Everton at the Etihad Stadium in a match that was attended by 10,000 fans, netting twice as a second half substitute.
Sergio Aguero’s brace against Everton saw him break Wayne Rooney goal record scored by a Premier League player at a single club, with the double taking him to 184 at the Etihad.
He started his final Premier League game on the bench and didn’t even warm up ahead of the contest.
Instead, his first appearance was before kick-off through a guard of honour provided by his City teammates.
It was Aguero’s choice to come on in the second half of the match, and City didn’t need him in the first period, going 2-0 up in just 14 minutes.
But amidst the celebration, and love shown to the striker in the last days Pep Guardiola did not hide his emotional state, holding back his tears even as he revealed that Sergio Aguero was set to join Barcelona after leaving Manchester City.
