MANCHESTER, England (AP):

In the closing moments of the Premier League's most dramatic season, Manchester City had just enough time for one final, breathtaking twist.

''It's a crazy finish for a crazy season,'' City manager Roberto Mancini said. ''I've never seen a final like this.''

With the club's title hopes fading by the second, its anguished fans in disbelief in the stands, relegation-threatened Queens Park Rangers clung to a one-goal lead after 90 minutes. City then threw all their attacking might forward to produce one of English soccer's greatest comebacks.

Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero scored during injury time in a 3-2 victory that gave City their first league title since 1968. City finished ahead of crosstown rivals Manchester United on goal difference.

After a season in which the title race shifted back and forth between the Manchester clubs, City appeared to have thrown it all away on the final day. They let 10-man QPR rally from a goal down to take the lead in the second half, while United completed a 1-0 victory at Sunderland.

But Dzeko headed in a tying goal in the second minute of stoppage time to give City fans hope. Aguero then clinched the title when he slalomed through the QPR defence and blasted the ball into the net. As Mancini raised his hands and ran along the sideline, Aguero - the son-in-law of Diego Maradona - tore his shirt off in jubilation before he was mobbed by teammates.

''He was crying on the floor,'' City captain Vincent Kompany said. ''All the guys were pouring their eyes out. You don't see strong personalities like that showing their emotion so often.''

Moments earlier, United completed their victory at Sunderland and were lingering on the field in northeast England, waiting for the final result of the City game and were ready to start celebrating title No. 20.

The QPR net was first breached in the 39th minute when goalkeeper Paddy Kenny flapped at Pablo Zabaleta's shot while on his knees and palmed the ball over himself into the net. A blunder by City then nearly led to them throwing away the title.

Joleon Lescott went to make a simple headed clearance. Instead, he knocked the ball backward and Djibril Cisse seized on the defender's mistake by driving a shot past Joe Hart.

City's task seemed to be made easier when former player Joey Barton lost his cool and threw an elbow at Carlos Tevez as a cross came into the penalty area from Zabaleta. The QPR captain was seething after receiving a red card and kneed Aguero as he left the field. Both sides had to placate the raging player, who was dragged to the sideline.

Despite City enjoying the man advantage, QPR went in front on a rare counterattack. Armand Traore was given space to go down the left flank. He then picked out unmarked Jamie Mackie in the penalty area and he sent a downward header past Hart in the 66th.
