In terms of Premier League history, the most dramatic ending to the season came in the 2011/12 season, where Manchester City scored two goals in stoppage time at the end of the final game to overtake their more illustrious neighbours Manchester United and step out of the shadows to usher in a new era of North-West dominance.

It is eight years since the “Agueroooo” moment that so cemented Martin Tyler indelibly in the British conscience for global sports commentary. But the season was so much more than that final meaningful kick of the ball that sealed the destiny of the title.

After Manchester United’s 19th English League title was won in May 2011, Manchester City came into the following season under the stewardship of Roberto Mancini with a backroom staff that included former England player David Platt and former European Cup winner for Manchester United, Brian Kidd.

The Charity Shield was not an indicator of what was to come at all, with Manchester United coming from two goals down at half-time to win 3-2 in the final seconds of injury time thanks to a Nani goal that embarrassed Vincent Kompany.
