# Manchester City: Fans worship Sergio Aguero in response to overtaking Rooney goal record

**Following Sergio Aguero’s FA Cup [winner](https://www.sofascore.com/manchester-city-sheffield-wednesday/mr) against Sheffield Wednesday in the Round of 16 on Wednesday evening, many supporters have been drooling over the revelation that the Argentine has now scored [more goals](https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/1235344351129210881) for Manchester City than Wayne Rooney has for arch rivals Manchester United.**

Aguero, who signed for City back in the summer of 2011, has since gone on to accumulate [254 goals](https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/1235344351129210881) for the club in all competitions – surpassing Rooney’s record of [253](https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/1235344351129210881) for United.

The Argentine has continued his fine run of form over the last few seasons this campaign, netting 16 goals in 16 Premier League starts for the Sky Blues ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/14260/Show/Sergio-Ag%C3%BCero)). As well as this, Aguero is just seven strikes behind Andrew Cole in the all time league [top scorers list](https://www.premierleague.com/stats/all-time) – with the 31-year-old potentially on the verge of usurping another Red Devils great. In response to the record break, many City fans have been swooning over the ‘[highly underrated](https://twitter.com/miztaclint/status/1235345487747862531)‘ club icon – describing him as a ‘[king](https://twitter.com/MaistreManon/status/1235345292700127237)‘ and a ‘[legend](https://twitter.com/BigDave254/status/1235412173041647618)‘.
