Manchester City's Sergio Agüero joined Thierry Henry in scoring 20 goals or more in five successive Premier League campaigns on Sunday.

Agüero's goal earns title-chasing City narrow win at Burnley

Agüero's was the solitary strike as Manchester City won 1-0 against Burnley in a tight contest at Turf Moor.

It was far from a vintage Agüero goal - Matthew Lowton just unable to keep the ball from going over the line after making a desperate block.

Equals Henry feat achieved back in 2006

Nevertheless, the goal stood after confirmation from goal-line technology, making Agüero the first player since Arsenal great Henry in 2005-06 to take his tally to at least 20 for five successive seasons.

Agüero also closed in on Premier League top scorer Mohamed Salah, who leads the way with 21 goals.
