LONDON (AP) -It took goal difference to determine the destination of the Premier League trophy, but ending a 44-year championship drought cemented Manchester City's status as English soccer's emerging force.
After enduring relegations and near financial meltdown while United won 12 of the last 19 English titles, the "noisy neighbors'' derided by Alex Ferguson finally have something to shout about.
Sergio Aguero's title-winning goal in stoppage time Sunday against Queens Park Rangers sent ripples around the world, from the Etihad Stadium to the Gulf oil wells, which funded the unprecedented $1 billion rejuvenation of City the last three years.
City's collection of top talent makes it all the more remarkable United managed to maintain its duel with City until the final seconds of the season's 38th game.
