Manchester City is Premier League Champion in Dramatic Season End


Manchester City has won the Premier League Championship.  After Matchday 37 the championship was Manchester City's to lose.  All that was required was a win today.  A reduced QPR team managed to move ahead on the City side.  During injury time City managed a draw and just a few minutes later scored their third goal.  This is an amazing end to the Premier League season. 

When the game ended at Sunderland, United was all but sure that they had taken the championship.  It wasn't to be. 

 "Manchester City won the Premier League in the most incredible circumstances imaginable after scoring TWO injury time goals against QPR. The Blues knew a victory would give them a first title since 1968 and went ahead when Paddy Kenny could only parry Pablo Zabaleta's shot into the net. But Joleon Lescott gifted QPR an equaliser when his header allowed Djibril Cisse in to score. Joey Barton was then sent off for a clash with Carlos Tevez, the former City player lashing out at Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany on his way off. But even with their reduced numbers, QPR scored a second when Jamie Mackie headed in after a counter attack. Substitute Edin Dzeko scored an injury-time leveller before Sergio Aguero smashed in the shot that will go down in history.  Manchester Evening News"

There could not have been a more exciting finish to the Premier League.  Will this be one of many to be won by City?
