Manchester’s noisy neighbours loud and proud

Two injury-time goals, the second from Sergio Aguero after 93 minutes, brought City a 3-2 victory over QPR, in the most astonishing circumstances at the Etihad Stadium last night.

Far more relevantly, it also ended the club’s 44-year wait for an English league title, at the expense of neighbours and reigning champions United.

As the final whistle brought at end to Manchester United’s 1-0 victory at the Stadium of Light, United were champions. City, drawing 2-2 with a Rangers side who were still uncertain whether they would avoid relegation at the expense of Bolton, faced a summer of soul searching and introspection.
