Topic: 3-0 down or 3-0 up

[Barrow Shaun]

Was just thinking about this recently and wondered if anyone had any other examples....

Obviously Istanbul comes to mind, but I also think back to that 3-3 v Man United in the early PL years. Then, on the other side of the coin, last year's home Spurs match was similar to the second 4-3 v Newcastle those years ago.

The only other one that springs to mind right now was when (90s I think) we drew 3-3 at Southampton, having led 3-0.

Anyway, good or bad, glorious or sickening - can anyone think of any others? Cheers.

edit: Just remembered (I think) in Europe at home v Salzburg (??) and another 4-3 recently??

We were 3-0 up away at Sevilla in the Champions League group stages and drew 3-3. Ultimately didn’t matter too much.

We came back from 3-0 down at Basel in 2002 to draw 3-3 but wasn’t enough as we needed to win to progress.

[RobbieRedman]

3 up v Bournemouth and lost 4-3 Klopps first year i think

Yep, cheers, that one slipped my mind. edit - sorry, both of those actually

Think we were 2 up and lost 3-2

Palace in the Suarez season

Aaaaargh, yes. But then it was Chelsea that had already done for us by then.

[RobbieRedman]

yep you're right

[Barrow Shaun]

Just thought of maybe another not but 100%.

There was a game in one of the cups v Chesterfield and we drew 4-4 (Souness years I suspect) and I think we were either 0-3 or 1-4 down at one point. But like I say, not sure.

[Kenny's Jacket]

yes.

 

[Barrow Shaun]

Actually, even though only 2 down (1-3) we could probably count that Dortmund game because we needed 3 in half an hour or were out.

Is thought if that one. We were 4-1 down at home! We had a very young side out I think. Vaguely remember Don Hutchison and Jamie Redknapp scoring. We then won the away leg 4-1.

0-2 up, Mane comes on, rips us to shreds, misses a pen and bags a double and they win 3-2.

I thought that we'd lost 1-0 at their place but I guess that was Peterborough or someone.

Yeah think that was the season before (91/92). Not long after we’d had the comeback against Auxerre and thought things might be on the up.

Chesterfield was 92/93. Same year Bolton did us in the FA Cup at Anfield. Think we ended up losing to Crystal Palace in the League Cup after a replay. If not them, then to Wimbledon on penalties. Think that was 2 seasons in a row we went out at Selhurst Park.

That Wimbledon game was the first penalty shoot out we ever lost I think

Famously needed 3 v Olympiakos.

Mad that we did that twice in that CL season.

Ah, of course. Good shout.

[Kenny's Jacket]

So does Auxerre count?

[Barrow Shaun]

So does Auxerre count?

Why not....but I suppose that could've been just 2 and pens.
What I mean is, v Olympiakos and Dortmund we HAD TO get 3.

ok mate, Ill have a think for more.

[Barrow Shaun]

I'd like to think there's at least another but I reckon (since the early 80s anyway) they're pretty much covered above.

[Barrow Shaun]

On a slightly different note (and leaving aside Istanbul and Dortmund) I wonder what people's other best/worst equaliser was.

Mine probably was Ruddock v United in that 3-3, and either dickhead for Spurs last season or Newcastle's slow motion toe poke through David James' legs in that second 4-3. (Barton I think)

[seenitall]

Surprised nobody has mentioned the game against Crystal  Palace in May 14. 3-0 up and pulled back to 3-3 which was the final nail in our title challenge!!

[seenitall]

Sorry Kenny, just noticed your reference to the Palace  game!

[Crosby Nick]

Slightly different genre but always loved the 2-0 down, 3-2 up kind of win. We had one in the Derby in the 70s. And a few in the 90s - Forest in New Year’s Day with Fowelr and Collymore and a couple against Newcastle and Spurs in 98/99.

My favourite one of those was at City, surrounded by City fans. They were 2 up and all smiles around the concourse at HT, then Torres 2 and Dirk Kuyt in the last minute to pop their smug little bubbles. Lovely.

Ohh I like this one Shaun, ill have a think.  My worst equaliser was Riise o.g Chelsea , but that wont count

Good one. Early in 08/09 wasn’t it? Skrtel got a bad injury.

I was at that game also in with the City fans

Game at home to spurs last season?

Either I'm blind, or no one in this thread has mentioned us being 3-0 down to a little team called Barcelona.

Over two legs so not what the OP was looking for I suspect.

Well I saw Dortmund and Olympiakos mentioned, so I figured 3 goals deficits of any kind were all on the table.

I thought of Barcelona checked the OP

I assumed that was Barcelona

Oooh I thought they were referring to the recent Tottenham game.
