Overview

• Cisse told FourFourTwo he is “not going to take this accusation any longer,” saying post-match scenes showed him congratulating Nasri, not celebrating with Manchester City players.
• Rooney has repeatedly questioned QPR’s late-game intent and cited Cisse’s celebrations, saying earlier this year on The Overlap that the match “should have been looked into.”
• Cisse argued QPR had no incentive to let City win, noting they fielded a strong side and asking why they would wait until stoppage time to concede if that had been the plan.
• The controversy revisits the final day of 2011/12 when Sergio Aguero’s stoppage-time strike secured City’s 3-2 comeback, with QPR confirmed safe from relegation by other results.
• Despite renewed media attention and criticism of Rooney’s theory, there has been no new inquiry or evidence changing the historical record of the match.
