Everton v Bournmouth, August 31, 2024. Everton 2-0 up after 85 minutes (ie with 5 minutes left, plus 10 minutes extra time). Final result|: Everton 2 Bournmouth 3. The greatest come-back ever from 2-0 down in the Premier League.
The craziest comeback I've ever seen? There are a lot of comebacks in the NBA and MLB, leagues I follow very closely. Recently, Philadelphia Phillies came back from 0-4 down against the tough Braves, and even earlier Pittsburgh Pirates came back from 0-5 down in a game against Cincinnati Reds. There are plenty of comeback games in the NBA where teams have won while losing by more than 20 points. 🤔

From Manchester to Barcelona, Istanbul to La Coruna, these unforgettable comebacks encapsulate the unpredictable, passionate, and often miraculous nature of football. They are the reason fans stay glued to the television until the final whistle, proving that in football, as in life, it's never too late to turn things around.
