In joining an elite group with his 150th Premier League goal in Manchester City’s 6-1 victory over Southampton on Sunday, Sergio Aguero did so in record time.
The goal was the 30-year-old striker’s 150th in the Premier League, making him only the ninth to reach that mark.
Aguero reached the milestone in the second-fewest matches in Premier League history, taking only 217 matches since joining City from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2011.
Only Alan Shearer has done it in fewer matches. The Premier League’s all-time leading goalscorer took 212 matches to reach 150 goals in the competition.
But in terms of time on the field, Aguero is well ahead of Shearer.
The City striker took 268 and a quarter hours, or 16,095 minutes, of playing time to get to 150 goals.
This is more than 36 hours quicker than the 18,293 minutes Shearer needed.
