Sergio Aguero's goal, 93 minutes and 20 seconds in to the last game of the season against Queens Park Rangers, who themselves survived relegation by the thinnest possible margin. The result handed City the title, and snatched it away from perennial winners, and neighbours, Manchester United. Presented and produced by Adam Peacock, Code Sports bring you The Aguero Goal; Drama and Delirium. The events leading up to, and including, the day are told from four different points of view. Joelen Lescott, Manchester City defender, part of the army of high-prized recruits bought by City to end their title drought. Nedum Onuoha, QPR defender, who was brutally axed after 15 years at City by manager Roberto Mancini and sold to QPR, only to have to return on the final day to help his new club avoid relegation, and stop City winning the title. Sam Matterface, commentator, who was calling the game for UK radio, and like the rest of those inside the stadium, lost his mind! Sarah Loftus, Manchester City fan, who was 14 at the time and going through a dark period in her life. She credits football for helping save her.         See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
