Sergio Aguero has got the goal!
In the fourth minute of stoppage time.
That has settled celebrations there.
And Sir Alec Ferguson cannot believe it.
The game here ended with his team as champions.
Having done enough thanks to Wayne Rooney's goal.
But in the most dramatic of circumstances.
The ultimate soap opera club.
Manchester City have come up with a huge goal.
Well I don't believe what I've just seen.
I really don't.
You think you've seen it all.
And then something like that happens.
Aguero, what a take it was.
Just when they thought they had it in the grasp.
Quite incredible.
Still a few seconds left at the Etihad.
But surely not another twist to come.
Surely not.
Well the news has just filtered through to the Sunderland fans.
So there's a bit of taunting going on.
But Paul Scholes who's been round the block so many times.
Ashley Young who was within minutes of claiming his first Premier League titles medal.
And suddenly in the cruelest of fashions.
It has been snatched away.
If you can do that Rob.
If you can score two goals in stoppage time.
You deserve it.
Under the most extreme pressure.
City responded.
They came good.
They answered the call.
Well they're celebrating the goal that Sergio Aguero has scored.
That looks like it has been the final sting in the tail.
On an utterly remarkable day.

Bidding for a 13th Premier League crown.
They thought it was theirs.
It was when the game ended here.
But it has been snatched away from them.
The Sunderland fans here replicating the city celebration of the Poznan.
As the final few seconds are now played out.
At the City of Manchester stadium at Eastlands.
It all hinges on Mike Dean's final whistle there now.
It's City who are almost there.
Goddard City.
It's joy and celebration for them at their first title in 44 years.
But for Manchester United.
Well they are under the moon.
Under the blue moon of Manchester City.
The most remarkable final day in Premier League history.
The 20th year of this competition.
And Manchester United had it in their hands.
They were almost touching the Premier League trophy.
And it has been snatched in the cruelest of fashions.
