Mancini’s ‘best and worst five minutes’

Roberto Mancini last night described the final moments of Manchester City’s decisive win over QPR as “the best and worst five minutes” of his and his players’ lives as an estimated 100,000 fans lined the streets to witness the team parade the Premier League trophy on an open-top bus tour of the city centre.

City are celebrating their first league title in 44 years after a dramatic last-gasp 3-2 victory over QPR at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Members of the victorious squad were invited to a private reception at Manchester town hall in the afternoon before taking to a stage to greet a huge crowd in the city’s Albert Square.
