"Southampton's astonishing comeback from 3-0 down to beat Leicester City 4-3 in the Championship reminded us all of the euphoria and agony this sport can deliver. "It is tough to find the right words for this game," Saints head coach Tonda Eckert told BBC Radio Solent after the dramatic victory at the King Power Stadium. "You don't have many nights like this.""
"Eckert is right about the rarity of such an occasion. It is the first time in 16 years any team has come from three goals down to win a game in the Championship - and just the eighth time across the entire EFL since it was rebranded in 2004. With that in mind, let's cast a nostalgic eye over some of the best comeback wins in EFL history."
Southampton overturned a 3-0 deficit to defeat Leicester City 4-3 at the King Power Stadium, with goals from Ross Stewart, Jack Stephens, Ryan Manning and Shea Charles. Leicester had taken a 3-0 lead inside 29 minutes through Divine Mukasa, Patson Daka and Abdul Fatawu while fans chanted "we want nine" recalling a previous 9-0 result. The comeback included an 86th-minute equaliser and a last-kick winner, leaving Leicester near the Championship relegation zone. The win represents the first three-goal recovery in the Championship in 16 years and only the eighth such comeback across the rebranded EFL since 2004.
