If a list of one of the most hardworking and honest footballers is made, Sergio Aguero will definitely make it there simply because of his grit and refusal to dive and moan for a foul and, instead, try to stay on his feet as much as he can. And no goal displays that better than that goal he scored against QPR – the goal that won Manchester City the Premier League at the very last moment of the 2011/12 Premier League season.

The Argentine kept charging forward when he could have easily taken a tumble in the box after facing a mistimed tackle from a QPR player and get a penalty. But he didn’t. The persistence paid off as he fired past the goalkeeper to seal the title for the Citizens in what became the most iconic moment in EPL history.
