Manchester City Become European Premier League Winners After 44 Years

Manchester City FC clinched their first EPL title today May 13, 2012 after 44 years of wait.

The title was decided at exactly 93rd minutes when Sergio Aguero drilled in a crucial goal against Queens Park Rangers (QPR).

Manchester United scored first at 20 minutes into the game through Wayne Rooney assisted by Phil Jones while Pablo Zabaleta drilled in a goal at 39 minutes for Manchester City in a separate game.

QPR then equalised some minutes into second half after captain Joey Barton’s red card and later doubled the lead to keep Manchester United a favourite for the title.

After 93 minutes of play, Manchester United assumed the winner of the league with two minutes left for Manchester City.

But as Manchester United prepared to celebrate their fourth consecutive EPL win, snatching a 20th league title following their 1-0 win at Sunderland, Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero struck twice in two minutes to seal the most enthralling title duel in years for Roberto Mancini side.

Manchester city coach, Mancini said ‘The last few minutes were incredible. This is for our supporters, they deserve this‘, while in the spirit of celebration.

The winner of EPL title was not decided until the last two minutes at the Etihad Stadium and fans were already leaving the pitch before the two goals from Manchester City strikers

‘To win like this is incredible. I have never seen a finish like this, we had a lot of chances, we deserve to win this championship. It’s fantastic. After 44 years I dedicate this to all our supporters. It’s a crazy season, crazy last minutes‘, said Mancini.

QPR’s defeat was not enough to send them down into the Championship as Bolton could only manage 2-2 draw at Stoke City, leaving QPR a point ahead of them.


As it stands, should Chelsea win the UEFA Champion’s League, Tottenham Hotspur might lose their fourth place spot and their hope of going for the Champions’ league next season.

Following the results from the final matches, Wolves FC, Blackburn Rovers and Bolton FC are now relegated from the premiership.

Chealsea Coach Andre Villas Gets Sack Letter:Roberto Di Matteo Becomes new coach

Andre Villas-Boas has been sacked Less than a year after becoming a coach at the Stamford Bridge.
It is not unlikely that the decision to end the 34 year-old Portuguese's job was as a result of Chelsea's defeat against West Brom on saturday.

According to the club release, "Andre Villas-Boas has parted company with Chelsea Football Club today.
The board would like to record our gratitude for his work and express our disappointment that the relationship has ended so early.
Unfortunately the results and performances of the team have not been good enough and were showing no signs of improving at a key time in the season.
The club is still competing in the latter stages of the UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup, as well as challenging for a top-four spot in the Premier League, and we aim to remain as competitive as possible on all fronts.
With that in mind we felt our only option was to make a change at this time. With immediate effect Roberto Di Matteo has been appointed first-team coach on an interim basis until the end of the season."
