Sergio Aguero targets 100th Premier League goal at Newcastle United

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has outlined his intention to score his 100th Premier League goal in his side's midweek fixture at Newcastle United.

The Argentine took his tally to 99 in five years with a hat-trick at Chelsea on Saturday evening, a performance that also put him just one goal behind Harry Kane in the race for this season's golden boot.

"We still have a few games ahead of us and I am sure I can make 100 goals," Aguero told reporters at Stamford Bridge. "I will try to do it on Tuesday when we have an important game

"I'm happy with the three goals, but most importantly with the victory. Those three points were very important.

"Since I came to City we have never won at Chelsea, so I am very happy. It's a difficult stadium to get the win, so to get three points is good."

The result saw City move up to third in the Premier League, four points clear of fifth-placed rivals Manchester United.
