"We love him so much, he (Aguero) is a special person for all of us," an emotional Pep Guardiola said after City's thumping win over Everton.

With his brace on Sunday, Aguero broke Wayne Rooney's record of most number of goals for a single Premier League club. Rooney had scored 183 goals while representing Manchester United. 

Aguero finished his 10-year stint at Manchester City with 184 goals in the Premier League. 

City, having already secured the Premier League title, were ruthless against Carlo Ancelotti's Everton at the Etihad stadium. 

Kevin de Bruyne opened the floodgates with a long-range stunner in the 11th minute and just three minutes later Gabriel Jesus doubled the lead for Premier League champions. 

England youngster Phil Foden scored after half-time break to make it 3-0 and once Guardiola decided to bring in Sergio Aguero, it was all about the Argentine forward. 

Having netted twice already in the game, Aguero had the chance to make his fairy tale ending a bit more special with a hat-trick but Jordan Pickford managed to save a header.
