Top 5 Title Comebacks in English Premier League History

#2. 1997-98, 1 point, Arsenal

Arsenal overcame a twelve point deficit with ten straight victories in a pulsating 1997-98 campaign

This title run was a near miracle. Arsenal was trailing by 11 with only 9 games left to close out another thrilling battle against Manchester United. The turning point came in the 30th game of the season when United hosted Arsenal at Old Trafford. The Gunners took the hosts down 1-0 and it turned out to be a pivotal game. Arsenal took off from there, clawing their way back with a relentless run before securing the title by a solitary point.

Arsenal was languishing in sixth position heading into Christmas after 3 defeats in November and December left them vulnerable and exposed. By February, they were trailing United by 12 points, with all hopes seemingly extinguished.

A stellar run of 10 straight victories including an away victory over United turned the tide for Arsenal in spectacular fashion. They won the title by one point, despite losing their last two matches of the season. That victory in 1997-98 remains one of Arsene Wenger's greatest achievements of his over two-decade reign at Arsenal.
