SERGIO AGUERO scored the most dramatic goal in Manchester City’s history when he smashed in against QPR to win the league in 2012 – and he has done it again.

The striker bagged what was an almost identical goal seven years on which could put his side into the Champions League semi-finals.

Against QPR, it was Mario Balotelli who poked through for the Argentine to smash home at the Etihad.

This time it was Kevin De Bruyne who provided his third assist of a frantic night to put Manchester City ahead in their tie with Tottenham for the first time.

City knew they had to overturn the 1-0 deficit from North London eight days ago and started in emphatic fashion with Raheem Sterling curling home after four minutes.

But three minutes later Son Heung-min equalised on the night and then found the top corner with ten minutes on the clock to turn the game on its head.

Bernardo Silva and Sterling put City back ahead on the night but still behind on away goals before Aguero struck just before the hour mark.

Carbon copy finish of the QPR title goal from Aguero. Lloris very much Alex McCarthy.

And Twitter fans were loving it.

One said: “Man city’s 4th goal scored by Kun Aguero takes us back to 2012 when he scored in exactly the same way against QPR and winning premier league because of it.”

Another very excited user added: “I CANT BELIEVE WHAT IM SEEING. THIS HIGH SCORING OF A UCL GAME. 30 MINS TO GO. CITY LEAD, thanks to DE BRUYNE classically running through the whole team and WHO ELSE but AGUERO to score the potential winning goal, the best City player ever, the one who did it similarly vs. QPR.”

A third wrote: “Had similarities of the title winner vs QPR that.”

And Peter Stephens tweeted: “Carbon copy finish of the QPR title goal from Aguero. Lloris very much Alex McCarthy.”

Another said: “How similar was Aguero’s goal there to that iconic one he scored to win City the league against QPR, brilliant!”

But even with his emphatic finish, Aguero would not have the final say – Fernando Llorente bundled in off his thigh to put Spurs back in front on away goals.

City needed their hero to step up in injury time once again and although they thought he had done it, VAR ruled Sterling’s apparent winner out for offside and it was Spurs that went through… JUST.
