So, in no particular order, here are what we at talkSPORT.com think are ten of the most memorable moments in Premier League history.1. 'Balotelli… Aguero!' Manchester City win their first ever Premier League titleBelieve it or not, there was once a time when Manchester City didn’t dominate the Premier League title race. When the Abu Dhabi United Group invested in the club in 2008, City hadn't won England's top flight title for 40 years, last doing so in 1968, which came 31 years after their 1937 win.So when they had the opportunity to claim their first Premier League title by pipping their inner city rivals Manchester United - who dominated the title race for much of the 1990s and 2000s - on the final day of the season, fans were glued to their phones and TVs.
It would have been the Reds' first league honour since 1990, but Steven Gerrard slipped near the halfway line and allowed Chelsea's Demba Ba to run through and score, in what was the beginning of the end of their title hopes.11Aguero's goal against QPR could be the most iconic in English football historyCredit: AFP11Liverpool captain Gerrard slipped at Anfield in a crucial match against ChelseaCredit: GettyWhat made the error even worse for Liverpool was Gerrard being heard shouting 'This does not f****** slip now!' when holding a team huddle after their 3-2 win over City two weeks earlier.Rival fans still taunt them by singing about his famous slip to this day, and the fact that the Liverpool icon never got his hands on a Premier League trophy.3.
