Match Story:
Entering the final day of the 2011/12 Premier League season level on points with their city rivals, only a win against already-relegated QPR would claim the title for the blue half of Manchester. But after falling into a 1-2 hole at home — and the crosstown Red Devils having sealed their own victory — it seemed as if their wait to be crowned English champions would continue. But a fortuitous QPR red card and two goals scored deep in injury-time flipped the odds back in their favor and set City on the path to becoming the superpower they are today.
