- description: Manchester City was crowned Premier League champion on Sunday after an incredible fightback which saw it score twice in injury time to beat QPR 3-2 and seal the title on goal difference. City's dreams of a first title in 44 years appeared to be in tatters as 10-man Rangers led 2-1 after 90 minutes courtesy of goals from Djibril Cisse and Jamie Mackie following Pablo Zabaleta's opener. But as Manchester United prepared to celebrate snatching a 20th league title following its 1-0 win at Sunderland, Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero struck twice in two minutes to seal the most enthralling title duel in years. After a nervy start, City took the lead five minutes from half-time through Zabaleta, the Argentinean fullback darting onto a deft through ball from Yaya Toure to shoot high into the net past Rangers keeper Paddy Kenny. The goal sent relief coursing around Eastlands as City prepared for its championship party. But Eastlands was stunned into silence shortly after half-time when a blunder by Joleon Lescott let in Cisse who raced clear and thundered an equaliser past Joe Hart. Even then, the force still seemed to be with City, as QPR captain Joey Barton was sent off in an incident that defied belief. The fiery midfielder was given his marching orders by referee Mike Dean for a retaliatory elbow on Carlos Tevez following an off-the-ball clash. As Barton left the pitch, the midfielder then angrily kneed Aguero in the back of the thigh to leave himself facing a lengthy ban. Yet incredibly instead of ramming home its advantage, City was left shell-shocked as 10-man Rangers took a 2-1 lead in the 66th minute, Mackie heading in at the far post after Armand Traore's swift break from defence. Amid unbearable tension, City looked set for a traumatic defeat until substitute Dzeko nodded in to equalise in the second of five minutes of injury time. Then, out of nowhere, Aguero skipped clear of the Rangers defence to spark bedlam at Eastlands with the most dramatic winner imaginable.
