Manchester United had 'Fergie time' - now Man City's new identity is undisputed

"I swear you'll never see anything like this ever again," cried Martin Tyler in the seconds that followed Sergio Aguero's last-gasp title winner in 2012. For 10 years and nine days, it seemed that he was right.

Then on Sunday, remarkably, Manchester City did it all again. After a dismal 75 minutes that saw them fall two goals behind to Aston Villa, City scored three goals in a mad five-minute spell to salvage their Premier League ambitions and scupper Liverpool's quadruple dream.

Ilkay Gundogan's second goal of the day, a close-range tap-in that completed the incredible comeback, sparked scenes of celebration in the Etihad Stadium akin to those witnessed a little over 10 years ago.
