Even the Belgian, however, was snatching at things. The element that really elevates the drama of such afternoons – or makes it excruciating, depending on your perspective – is just how visibly and drastically the psychology swings on key moments. They produced a final day for the ages. It was just equally impossible to escape the pure sporting drama. By 81 minutes, he’d hit a second and City’s third, to swing the title back to Manchester again. It didn’t go as late as that day against Queens Park Rangers, but it did have the same 3-2 final score, from even more a flurry.
