Ten years and nine days on, Manchester City won the Premier League title again, with a stunning 93:20 tribute act.
The Blues showed they have lost none of their sense of drama, and have not abandoned their excruciating capacity for putting their long-suffering supporters through the emotional wringer before three goals in five minutes - two of them from sub Ilkay Gundogan - turned the title race on its head.
With Liverpool also coming from behind to win, anything less than three points would not have sufficed and from being down among the dead men, just as they were in 2012, Pep Guardiola’s team showed incredible reserves of belief and courage to haul it back.
