Sergio Aguero, Michael Thomas, Nayim from the halfway line and more CRUCIAL late goals
Following the dramatics at the Etihad where Man City secured their first top flight title in 44 years with a dramatic 3-2 win over QPR, capped by Sergio Aguero's late winner, we took a look at other last gasp goals.
ANDRES INIESTA GIVES CHELSEA THE BLUES
His super strike in stoppage time of the Champions League semi final earned Barcelona a place in the 2009 final at the expense of Chelsea, who were attempting to reach their second successive appearance in UEFA's showpiece event. Iniesta's goal drew Barca level and the 1-1 scoreline meant they went through on away goals. In the final, Barcelona blew Man United away 2-0, but nothing compared to the dramatics at Stamford Bridge.
“NAYIM FROM THE HALFWAY LINE”
It's a chant Tottenham fans loved to sing at their rivals following former Spurs midfielder Nayim's lob of David Seaman in the final moments of extra-time in the 1995 Cup Winners Cup final. It was one of the most dramatic finishes to a final and not only did it prevent an Arsenal win, it stopped the Gunners from becoming the first team to win successive finals of the now defunct Cup Winners Cup following the 2-1 result.
MICHAEL THOMAS SNATCHES THE TITLE FROM Liverpool'S GRASP
One of the most famous last gasp goals was scored by Michael Thomas when he and his Arsenal team-mates travelled to Anfield needing to win by two goals in order to pick up the 1988/89 First Division and prevent Liverpool from winning their 18th title. Few thought it was possible, but once Alan Smith put them in front, there was hope...
OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER SECURES THE TREBLE
Two injury time goals from Man United in three crazy minutes secured them the 1999 Champions League, with super sub Solskjaer netting the winner after Teddy Sheringham had equalised. Having already won the Premier League and FA Cup, the defeat of Bayern at Barcelona's Nou Camp wrapped up a brilliant treble.
LOVENKRANDS' VIKING RAID SEALS THE SCOTTISH CUP
Against Rangers' bitterest rivals, Denmark star Peter Lovenkrands helped beat Celtic 3-2 in the 2002 Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park after the Hoops had twice led. John Hartson and Bobo Balde scored for Celtic, with Lovenkrands equalising first, then Barry Ferguson and the Dane topped it off with a dramatic winner seconds before the full-time whistle.
Sunderland SPOILS MAN UNITED'S PARTY
Arsenal looked to be cruising to a 2-0 win in the 1979 FA Cup final and even though opponents Man United popped up with two late goals to level things with minutes to go, they were denied at the death by Alan Sunderland's winner.
DAVID BECKHAM MAGIC SENDS ENGLAND CRAZY
In the 93rd minute David Beckham sent England to the 2002 World Cup automatically with one of his trademark free-kicks. Sven-Goran Eriksson's side were heading towards a 2-1 defeat to Greece at Old Trafford and a place in the play-offs until Beckham pulled them level. In the finals, though, it ended at the quarter final stage following Brazil's 2-1 win where David Seaman was lobbed once again.

DENNIS BERGKAMP, DENNIS BERGKAMP, DENNIS BERGKAMP!
The former Arsenal ace's sensational goal against Argentina was memorable for it's timing, it's quality and the commentator screaming his name over and over. Though it sent the Netherlands into the semi final of the 1998 World Cup, they were eliminated by Brazil.
What obvious goals have we left out?
