Twitter Reacts as Sergio Aguero Hits Milestone in Man City's Draw with Newcastle

Sergio Aguero scored his 100th Premier League goal, but it wasn't enough to earn Manchester City three points, as Newcastle United fought back to secure a 1-1 draw on Tuesday.

The Argentinian forward reached the century mark 14 minutes into the match at St. James' Park, but replays showed he was clearly offside:

"

Offside but given. Kolarov f-k. Aguero header: 100th PL goal in 147th game, 2nd quickest to reach landmark after Alan Shearer (124 games)

"

Aguero becomes the 25th player to score 100 goals in Premier League era. Not many of them as clearly offside as that one.

It's not even close...

A mile offside.

Aguero an absolute mile off there!

That didn't bother Aguero, though, who reached the milestone in impressive time:

Newcastle weren't deterred, however, and levelled the score with a fine goal from Vurnon Anita:

With the Toon Army behind them in the second half, the home side pushed for a winner:

They had a great chance to win it late on, but Georginio Wijnaldum was denied by Joe Hart:

"

What a save by Joe Hart! Wijnaldum nearly had the game won! #NEWMCI

Of course, there was also the Leicester City angle:

"

A point for Manchester City which means Leicester are guaranteed a top 3 finish and go straight into the @ChampionsLeague proper. Brilliant!
