#2 – Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero for Manchester City against QPR (2012)

Sergio Aguero’s winner against QPR in 2012 will be remembered for a long time

Of the four league titles Manchester City have to their name, two of them came in the last five years. The first of the two arrived in the 2011/12 season after a 44-year-long wait. The manner in which the title came to the blue half of Manchester is one none of the Man City (or even Premier League) fans will ever forget.

Going into the final match-week, both Manchester City and Manchester United were level on points, with City leading their cross-town rivals on goal difference. After Pablo Zabaleta gave Man City the lead, the home fans would have breathed easy with their team leading at half-time. 20 minutes into the second half and QPR were leading the home side despite being a man down.

Man City would not find any equaliser in normal time and it was not until two minutes into injury time that Edin Dzeko’s header from a corner gave the home side some lifeline. Man United’s match had ended with the Red Devils sealing a 1-0 win. The match at the Etihad Stadium was into the fifth minute of injury time when Mario Balotelli played Sergio Aguero through who had it anything but easy and lashed the ball into the net to give Man City the most dramatic English Premier League title win.
