Manchester City wins tiltle in injury time

Manchester City won the English Premier League after coming from 2-1 in injury time to end their 44-year wait. At the end of the official 90 minutes City were 2-1 down to Queens Park Rangers but goals from Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero in the five minuets added time gave Manchester City the trophy.

Queens Park Rangers would have been relegated if Bolton had maintained their 2-1 lead against Stoke but the game ended 2-2 to ensure that QPR will be playing in the EPL next season.

Pardew named EPL Manager of the season

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew was crowned the English Premier League's Manager of the Season after a superb season which has seen his club challenge for a top-four finish.

Newcastle displayed a wonderful performance this season despite the close season departure of Kevin Nolan and Joey Barton, which came after the sale of striker Andy Carroll in January last year.
