Sergio Aguero says 'destiny' was behind him breaking Manchester City's goal record.

Leroy Sane slipped over which Aguero to score in a 4-2 win over Napoli, taking his club total to 177, breaking Eric Brooks' 79-year-old club record.

He said: "I knew that by scoring one goal I would become the club's all-time goal-scorer. The atmosphere was great, Napoli supporters were pushing really hard and it was beautiful, but at the same time I knew that the game was going to be tough. Obviously, I didn't know I was going to score, but I tried until I got it.

"Napoli came close to scoring a third but Ederson saved it and then we scored on the counter attack.

"When Leroy got the ball I thought 'ciao!', but then he fell down, and the ball just came to me, and that was beautiful! I had very clear idea that I wanted to put the ball in the bottom corner, just inside the post.

"The goal was beautiful; I just had broken the record. That was a fantastic night.

"Destiny wanted me to score it. If you watch it again, Leroy falls down and the ball could have gone to Kevin or anywhere else, but it came to me. I was happy because of the goal and it was a nice one too!"
