Hollywood couldn't have scripted it better; Cross-city rivals Manchester United and Manchester City tied atop the table on the last day of the season. United, the juggernaut of the EPL. City, the kid brother. United's game finished moments earlier than City's, and that was all it took for history to happen. City, down 2-1 in stoppage time, scored two massive goals to steal the title from the jaws of what would have been a crippling defeat.
City has drastically changed their culture in recent years, becoming big spenders in an attempt to turn England's big 4 into a big 5. After so many controversies, and the scourge of their powerhouse rivals at Old Trafford, it seems their mission has been accomplished. With a single strike, a title was won, a team was relegated, jobs were saved, and history was rewritten.
