This freakish Jamie Pollock own goal vs Queens Park Rangers , that took place exactly nineteen years ago at Maine Road, was the own goal that effectively relegated City to the third tier for the first time in their history. The Man City v QPR game took place on the penultimate round of the season (April 25, 1998), and City needed to win to boost their chances of survival. Pollock’s own goal helped QPR draw 2-2, and their supporters were reportedly so grateful that they named him “as the most influential person of the last 2,000 years” in an internet poll later that year.

PFA Player of the Year 2017- N’Golo Kante wins Players’ Player of the Year award for 2016-17
Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante has been named as the PFA Player of the Year for 2016/17, beating the likes of Eden Hazard, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez to the award.
Kante was on the six man shortlist in 2015/16 too, but missed out the award that eventually went to his Leicester teammate Riyad Mahrez.
The 26 year old has been a key figure for Antonio Conte’s side this season and is bidding to become the first player to get two successive PL winners’ medals with different clubs since the inception of the league as we currently know it back in 1992.
The midfielder is the fourth Frenchman to win the award in the modern Premiership era after Eric Cantona (93-94), David Ginola (98-99) and Thierry Henry (2002-03, 2003-04). He is also only the third Chelsea player to win the award after John Terry (2004-05) and Hazard (2014-15)
