| Aguero |
City had lost their previous two league games and went behind in the 18th minute when Aleksandar Mitrovic headed home, but Aguero equalised in the 42nd minute before hitting the net again four more times.
Kevin De Bruyne also scored, as well as teeing up two of Aguero's goals, as Manuel Pellegrini's side provisionally moved two points clear of Manchester United, who visit Arsenal on Sunday.
"Sergio Aguero is different," said Pellegrini.
Pellegrini's decision to withdraw him in the 64th minute denied the Argentina international a chance to set a new record, with the City manager revealing that Aguero had required treatment on his hamstring at halftime.
Mitrovic had opened his Newcastle account with a header from Georginio Wijnaldum's cross, but from there on it was all about Aguero at the Etihad Stadium.
Aguero's fourth goal, on the hour, saw him curl a shot into the bottom-right corner from the edge of the box and two minutes later he had a fifth after tapping in De Bruyne's low cross.
"Very happy about the five goals and the victory," Aguero wrote on Twitter.
