Football: Crouch goes from hero to zero
Crouch own goal ensures City's debut in Champions League next season.
England striker Crouch broke City’s hearts last season by scoring the winner which denied City a place at the top table of European football. But in a huge twist of fate, Crouch put past his own keeper while trying to clear a 30th-minute cross by James Milner to guarantee FA Cup finalists City’s a top-four finish in the Premier League.
Mancini’s men are at the very least guaranteed a play-off place in the Champions League.
