The referee for Manchester City's iconic title-winning game against QPR in 2012 has thrown his weight behind a conspiracy theory pedalled by Wayne Rooney.
Mike Dean believes QPR did one thing which, whether by design or accident, helped Sergio Aguero and City seal their dramatic comeback.
City scored twice in extra-time to leapfrog Manchester United - who had won 1-0 at Sunderland - and lift their first Premier League title under Roberto Mancini.
But Dean has questioned why QPR booted the ball back to City from kick-off after Edin Dzeko's 92nd-minute equaliser - something Rooney has picked up on before.
