Some might remember this famous title win as Manchester City's new Qatari owners making their mark, others, such as I, chose to forget it.

All football fans alike have heard Martin Tyler's iconic Aguero commentary, as the Argentinian slipped the ball past a sorry Robert Green, but, as we all know, if it wasn't for that goal, The Sky Blues noisy neighbours would have been the ones raising the Premier League trophy.

Going into the final day of the season, City were ahead on goal difference, as United were tasked with playing mid-table Sunderland, as the Sky Blues took on a QPR side not safe from relegation.

In the last match, Manchester United ended up defeating Sunderland, and, heading into stoppage time, QPR were winning 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium. But, just as nervous United fans started celebrating, The Sky Blues bagged 2 goals in quick succession to win the league, and send 10-men QPR down to the Championship. Victorious on goal-difference, this Premier League edition was truly a nail-biter and an absolute thriller. As they say, the rest is history.
