Top 5 Title Comebacks in English Premier League History

#4. 2002-03, 8 points, Manchester United

Manchester United sealed an unlikely title run with a breathtaking performance in the 2002-03 season

United was trailing by 8 points on two separate occasions during a dramatic season as they battled against Arsenal. At the second instance, it was already March and Arsenal was nearly home. But United had caught a second wind on Boxing Day and rode on an unbeaten run, all the way to the end of the league and as unlikely as it may seem, trumped Arsenal by 5 points.

United went 15-3-0 during that stretch upending the leaders in the final weeks of the Premier League season. The drawn matches were against Manchester City (1-1), Bolton Wanderers (1-1), both of them in February. The only other draw during that stretch came against their rivals Arsenal (2-2) in an away game in April.

They put the finishing touches on an incredible campaign to afford David Beckham the perfect farewell from United. In the last match of the season and the final one for Beckham in United colours, the Englishman scored the first goal in the 45th minute as United beat Everton 2-1 to seal the title run.
