Manchester City won the longest match in Premier League history on Saturday as the champions' 1-0 victory over Swansea lasted 102 minutes and 42 seconds. The clash at Eastlands featured over 12 minutes of stoppage-time after Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm suffered a calf injury in a failed attempt to save Carlos Tevez's second half goal, while City defender Micah Richards needed prolonged treatment on a knee problem.
That additional time added by referee Martin Atkinson meant the game beat the previous record of 102 minutes and 26 seconds set in Arsenal's 1-1 draw against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in 2011.
