On the 13th of May Man City and Queens Park Rangers (QPR) battled on the pitch, determined to win the Premier League Title.It looked good for QPR at the start, but 91 minutes and 51 seconds into the game Edin Dzeko headed in the ball scoring them a goal.They appeared to relax. City went for the jugular. Sergio Agüero went through
the middle, exchanging passes with an off-balance Mario Balotelli, then
shooting from right to left past Paddy Kenny, a shot that reverberated
across town and rang out around the world. The clock showed 93 min 20 sec.Agüero wheeled away, twirling his shirt above his head like Ryan Giggs at
Villa Park in 1999, although with rather less chest foliage.Jubilant Manchester City fans have been warned by police not to let their victory parade celebrations get out of hand.Tens of thousands of the team's supporters are expected to fill Manchester's streets tonight as they celebrate the club's first top-flight title in 44 years.The players will parade through the city centre in an open-top bus following Sunday's last-gasp win over Queens Park Rangers which saw them pip arch-rivals Manchester United to the crown.Police have urged City fans to ensure the event is a great occasion for all the right reasons and urged supporters to enjoy themselves in a responsible manner.
Assistant Chief Constable Terry Sweeney said: "Yesterday was a momentous day in the history of Manchester City, so its fans are quite rightly planning to celebrate their success. It's been 44 years since their last league championship so fans will want to let off some steam and we would never try and discourage supporters enjoying themselves."We would simply say that people should drink sensibly and ensure they get to the city centre in plenty of time to enjoy the event. I would also remind supporters to take note of the on-street alcohol ban restricting drinking alcohol in public places."
