Manchester United's near-miss clinching the title in 2012 was more a consequence of our faltering, according to Javier Hernandez, with Manchester City's triumph being somewhat secondary.

In the thrilling world of football, moments of triumph and heartbreak often intertwine, creating memories that last a lifetime. One such moment, etched deeply in the annals of Premier League history, is the iconic Aguero goal scored by Sergio Aguero for Manchester City on May 13, 2012. For Javier Hernandez, a Manchester United player at the time, the goal was a bitter pill to swallow.

On that fateful day, Manchester United began the day knowing they had to better City's result against QPR. The Red Devils secured a 1-0 win over Sunderland with Wayne Rooney's first-half goal, but it wasn't enough to defend their title.

Hernandez, who was among the Manchester United substitutes on the day, eying a second Premier League winners' medal, found himself on the losing end of a dramatic title race. As a substitute, he experienced losing the Premier League title as Manchester City scored a dramatic late winner, a goal that would become known as the Aguero goal.

The player, who has since expressed his disdain for the goal, considered that United lost the title more than City won it that day. The Aguero goal, scored in the 90+3 minute against Paddy Kenny, marked the most remarkable final day in the history of the Premier League.

The goal sent waves of jubilation through the City camp, with their supporters erupting in joy. Meanwhile, the Manchester United supporter at the Stadium of Light was delivering the news of Aguero's goal to his fellow fans, who were left shellshocked. Sir Alex Ferguson, the Manchester United manager, was furiously chewing his gum as the reality of the situation sunk in.

The Aguero goal was a hurtful moment for Hernandez. He spoke about the disappointment of losing the Premier League title to Manchester City in 2012, a feeling that was shared by his teammates, including Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, and Rio Ferdinand, who were left shellshocked after Aguero's goal as they went to acknowledge the traveling fans.

However, the story does not end there. Hernandez went on to win a Premier League title with Manchester United the year after the Aguero goal, providing a sense of revenge as United dethroned Manchester City the following season. Despite the bitter taste of the Aguero goal, Hernandez can now look back on his time at Manchester United with a sense of pride and accomplishment.

The Aguero goal remains one of the most significant moments in Premier League history, a testament to the unpredictable nature of football and the passion that it stirs in its fans. For Javier Hernandez, it serves as a reminder of a challenging time, but also of the triumphs that followed.
