Man Utd's forgotten defeat that made Man City's iconic Sergio Aguero moment possible

When we talk about the 2011-12 Premier League title race, it's hard to look beyond the final day drama where Sergio Aguero delivered Manchester City their first Premier League title in stoppage time.

However, a few weeks before those events, Manchester United had what looked like an unassailable lead. A big shift happened in the middle, though, and it started with a short trip to Wigan to face Roberto Martinez's relegation-fighting Latics.

At the time, the result looked like a setback but not a dramatic one. However, as Mirror Football takes a look back 10 years on from that night, it serves as a warning sign for any team who thinks they have it all wrapped up with weeks to go.
