When the stakes were the highest, Crystal Palace added their own special evening to the rarity of a three-goal Premier League comeback.
The Eagles were not hosting just any team, but a Luis Suarez-inspired Liverpool chasing the league title. To most onlookers, the night was going as expected when the Brendan Rodgers side took a three goal lead in the second-half.
But the Selhurst Park faithful knew from experience that anything was possible, and roared on by a raucous Holmesdale Palace fought back via a long-range Damien Delaney effort and a Dwight Gayle brace.
The comeback took just nine minutes, still the second-fastest recovery from three goals down in Premier League history and a fitting end to a dramatic first season back in the top-flight – the Eagles had been relegation favourites after nine defeats in their opening 10 games.
Nicknamed ‘Crystanbul’, the match was voted by Palace supporters as their greatest game in Premier League history.
A dramatic comeback – is there any better feeling?
