#5 Crystal Palace 3-3 Liverpool (2013-14)

The dream killer.
The dream killer.

After Liverpool lost 2-0 to Chelsea, their hopes of lifting the Premier League were hanging by a thread. They needed to win both their remaining games and improve their goal difference by a significant margin. This spurred the Reds on to venture out for blood when they visited Crystal Palace. It looked to be another comfortable victory, with Liverpool taking a 3-0 lead by the start of the second half.

Luis Suarez and co were out for more goals in an attempt to further improve their goal difference heading into the final game of the season. But that's where it all exploded. The Reds' defensive frailties were completely and utterly exposed by the Eagles, who struck twice in a couple of minutes to make it 3-2.

Then, with only a couple of minutes remaining, Dwight Gayle pounced and grabbed the equalizer for Palace and sent the Liverpool fans into utter disbelief. This completely finished their title challenge and it was visible, as Suarez was left shell-shocked and in tears at the final whistle. It remains notorious to this day under the name, 'Crystanbul'.
