When Manchester City were trailing QPR 2-1 in the 90th minute of their final Premier League game of the 2011/12 season, they were in need of a miracle. 

Roberto Mancini had lost it on the touchline, the Mancheter City players looked dejected and the fans were distraught in the stands of the Etihad Stadium. Of course, we all know what happened next, but while everyone naturally remembers Sergio Aguero's iconic 94th-minute goal, it is perhaps what happens a couple of minutes beforehand that is just as important.
