Christ, where do you even start with this one?

Sergio Aguero is going to leave Manchester City at the end of the season. He'll do so having scored (at least) 257 goals. He only had to score one though, didn't he?

Yeah, you know the one. Roll the footage.

If you'd written the narrative leading up to that moment into a Hollywood blockbuster, you'd be shown out of the building for being too unrealistic.

Manchester City, the noisy neighbours, the underdogs, hadn't won the league title in 45 years. Just across town were Man Utd, the establishment club who had dominated the rivalry and had won the Premier League four times in the last six years.

The two were neck and neck heading into the final day of the season, with only goal difference separating the two. With seven goals between them, though, City knew that a win would put them back on top.

Facing struggling QPR, it shouldn't have been too much of a struggle for Roberto Mancini's league leaders. But they made it hard for themselves: heading into stoppage time, they were 2-1 down, and looked set to yield to their neighbours, who - having done their bit - were already celebrating up at Sunderland.

When Edin Dzeko equalised with 92 minutes on the clock, a packed out Etihad held its breath and prayed.

And then, with the last kick of the ball, they won the league, and an earthquake ensued.

You could almost sense what was coming from the moment Aguero took on Shaun Derry and played the ball into the feet of Mario Balotelli.

Balotelli hadn't set up a Premier League goal all season to this point, but the Italian held onto the ball for dear life. Even as he went to the ground he wasn't giving up on it; he stretches out a right leg and pokes it back into the path of Aguero.

This is the point where a normal mortal being would rush it, snatch at it, lose balance or hoof it into the stand. The entire season rested on what he did next, and the next few seconds lasted longer than the previous 45 years combined.

Taking the ball beyond Nedum Onuoha, Aguero waited for his chance. When it came, he put his head down, and absolutely rattled the ball beyond Paddy Kenny.

If the scenes that followed don't send a shiver down your spine, then football's not for you.

Everything about it was iconic, from the shirt-swinging celebration to Tyler's coarse, spent delivery from the commentary booth.

"AGUEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

The other 256 goals were great, but the statue that is being built in Aguero's honour outside the Etihad has just one in mind.

It's the most famous moment in Manchester City's history, and the most famous moment in Premier League history, nothing else even comes close.
