#2 Newcastle United 4-4 Arsenal

What an unbelievable comeback.
What an unbelievable comeback.

This may be the most stunning comeback in Premier League history. In February 2011, Arsenal looked to maintain their title pursuit by beating Newcastle United at St James' Park. The Gunners began brilliantly, as Robin van Persie made it 1-0 in only 44 seconds. They made it 3-0 inside 10 minutes and the game already seemed over.

The first-half ended with a resounding 4-0 lead for Arsenal and possibly the easiest three points of the season. Newcastle themselves improved in the second half after Abou Diaby had been sent off for the visitors. The Magpies began their comeback with around 20 minutes to go, with Joey Barton scoring a penalty.

Fifteen minutes later, Arsenal was on the ropes and desperate to hang on with the score at 4-3. But then, Cheick Tiote (R.I.P) scored an unbelievably stunning goal to equalize for the Toons. It was a goal, and a comeback, that would immortalize the Ivorian forever.
