Sergio Aguero will leave Manchester City this summer after a glistening decade-long career at the Etihad Stadium.

The Argentina striker, who shared the news in an emotional statement on his Instagram on Monday, will depart City as not only its all-time top scorer, but having also guided it to four Premier League titles.

While each title was special in its own way, the most memorable truimph came in 2011/12, Aguero's debut season, when Roberto Mancini's side beat Queens Park Rangers on the final day of the season to clinch the club's first Premier League trophy in the most thrilling of fashions.

Aguero was at the heart of the drama - scoring a last minute winning goal and in-turn producing the greatest moment in Premier League history.

City went into the final game leading rivals Manchester United only on goal difference, meaning only a win would guarantee it the title.

Mancini's side went ahead through defender Pablo Zabaleta early on, but two goals in the second half from QPR's Djibril Cisse and Jamie Mackie turned things round for the visitors.

Heading into added time, City still trailed 2-1, while United had beaten Sunderland, meaning in just moments time it would be crowned champion.

However, with 92 minutes on the clock, City's Edin Dzeko levelled against QPR.

Then, with what proved to be the final kick of the game, and the season, up stepped Aguero, who slammed the ball into the net following an interchange with Mario Balotelli to win City the title.

"AGUERRROOOOO!" screamed commentator Martin Tyler, before the Argentine ripped off his shirt and wheeled away in celebration amid a deafening roar from City's fans.
