Of the many tense title races there had been in the Premier League era, none quite matched the drama of the 1988-89 Division One conclusion—as Arsenal got the last-minute goal they needed, at Anfield, to pip Liverpool to the title on goal difference.
That changed in 2012, however, as Manchester City and Manchester United played out the most dramatic Premier League conclusion ever. After beating Sunderland 1-0 at the Stadium of Light, United knew they would be champions as long as City continued to draw 2-2 with relegation-threatened QPR at the Etihad Stadium.
Then, deep into injury time, Sergio Aguero struck.
Manchester City had duly won their first title in 44 years, beating out their arch-rivals in the process thanks to a last-minute goal. You almost couldn't script it.
