So imagine being a City fan, being there at the Etihad Stadium on Monday night... and missing it. That was the fate to befall one unfortunate supporter, who certainly picked the worst possible moment to pop out to the toilet. One unfortunate Manchester City fan was just leaving the Etihad Stadium as Vincent Kompany let fly to score his sensational winner during Monday night's win over Leicester The fan was just turning onto the concourse as Kompany's season-defining strike hit the net By the time Kompany's shot hit the net, the fan had left the stadium and he wasn't alone with some other fans walking up the steps with their backs to the action Or perhaps the fan was leaving 20 minutes early to catch a train or beat the traffic. Either way, they missed what will become one of the most iconic moments in City's history. A behind-the-ball angle of Kompany's swerving strike shown on television coverage on Monday night showed three or four fans with their backs to the action as they climbed the steps to leave the ground. One dark silhouette was right at the top, entering the concourse at the moment Kompany's rocket screamed into the top corner. The clip went viral on social media, with Twitter users commenting on how unlucky the exiting fan had been. Vincent Kompany scored a stunning winner as Manchester City beat Leicester 1-0 on Monday The goal sparked wild celebrations on and off the pitch inside the Etihad Stadium One wrote: 'Imagine if you're this fella and missed that Kompany goal!' Another tweeted: 'Spare a thought for that Man City fan at the top of the picture who chose that Kompany moment to pop out for a wee.' Another user joked: 'When you need the toilet, you need the toilet.' Others were less forgiving, with one writing: 'Imagine being such a plastic fan you actually just take a stroll and miss that goal from Kompany!!!' Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero rush over to congratulate Kompany on his stunning goal Kompany's winner leave the outcome of the Premier League title race in City's hands Final day SUNDAY Brighton vs Manchester City Liverpool vs Wolves Both 3pm kick-offs Surely the explosion of noise that greeted Kompany's goal would have had the supporter rushing back into the stadium. It restored City to the top of the Premier League, a point ahead of their title rivals Liverpool with just one match left to play. That will take place on Sunday afternoon, when City travel to Brighton and Liverpool host Wolves. A City victory will see Pep Guardiola's side retain the Premier League title, but anything less would allow Liverpool in.
