Agüero's Last-Minute Winner vs QPR

The greatest moment in Premier League history.

On 13 May 2012, Manchester City played Queens Park Rangers (QPR) at the Etihad Stadium in both teams' 38th and final match of the 2011–12 Premier League season. City won the match and the league title in dramatic fashion, reversing a 2–1 deficit by scoring two goals within 2 minutes and 5 seconds during stoppage time (1:15 to 3:20), with the winner being famously scored by Sergio Agüero with 86 seconds remaining in stoppage time, to clinch their first league title since the 1967–68 season.

Lore & Background

The match, and more specifically, the final goal of the match, has repeatedly been described as the greatest moment in Premier League history. The terms '93:20' and 'AGÜEROOOOOO!!!' have entered Manchester City folklore as a result, the former describing the exact second of the match at which point the final goal was scored, while the latter was Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler's live response to the goal.

In Their Own Story

As the referee checked his watch, time seemed to suspend itself. Then, the ball arrived at Agüero's feet; a moment of clarity amidst chaos. He drove forward, the net rippled, and suddenly, silence was shattered by a roar that shook the foundations of the stadium. It wasn't just a goal; it was history being written in the final heartbeat of the season.
