Never in doubt, was it? For as long as the Premier League exists, it is hard to see any moment eclipse this particular goal, which captured the league title for Manchester City in the most dramatic of circumstances.

On the last day of the 2011-12 Premier League season, the league title was on the line. Manchester City and Manchester United were going head-to-head for the crown, and the Cityzens needed to win to capture the title - they were ahead on goal difference. Facing a Queen's Park Rangers team who were fighting relegation, City were 1-2 behind till the 92nd minute of the game with Manchester United closing out with a win against Sunderland.

Edin Dzeko equalised for the home team in the second of five minutes of stoppage time. Eithad was rocking, and City kept on attacking until the ball fell to Sergio Aguero, who shot from inside the box to give his club their first league title in over 40 years. It was the most unbelievable finish as 38 weeks of football literally came down to one kick of the ball. The fans could not hide their joy as thousands of people created a memorable scene at the Etihad, whereas rivals Manchester United could only hand their head in dismay at what had occurred.

There is no doubt that in this decade, not a single moment has been as iconic as Aguero's goal in stoppage time vs QPR.
