Aguero’s iconic title-winning goal – 2011/12

The tightest of title races fittingly went right down to the wire and was only settled after Sergio Aguero scored the most dramatic goal in Premier League history. 

Manchester City and Manchester United went into their last fixtures separated by just goal difference and, after Wayne Rooney’s first-half winner at Sunderland, Sir Alex Ferguson’s men were minutes away from being crowned champions when the final whistle went at the Stadium of Light. 

But Man City were still playing at the Etihad Stadium and produced a stunning stoppage-time comeback from 2-1 down against Queens Park Rangers, capped by Aguero’s strike in the fourth minute of stoppage time, to win 3-2 and snatch the title.

It was an unforgettable way for Man City to claim their first Premier League crown and remains the only time the competition has been won on goal difference.

Gundogan inspires title-winning comeback – 2021/22

No strangers to final-day, Premier League-clinching drama, Man City were at it again, 10 years after Aguero’s winner.

Nearest challengers Liverpool were daring to dream when they drew level with Wolverhampton Wanderers while Man City, who began the day a point ahead, trailed 2-0 against Aston Villa. 

At that stage, the two sides were level on points. 

Three City goals in five second-half minutes, though, including two from Ilkay Gundogan, dramatically turned their game on its head and they clung on to win 3-2 and pip Liverpool, eventual 3-1 winners over Wolves, to the title by one point for the second time in four seasons.
