Premier League Top 30 moments: Number 29 - Newcastle fight back from 4-0 down to draw 4-4 vs. Arsenal
Back in 2011 Newcastle were 4-0 down after 26 minutes, at home, to Arsenal. Theo Walcott scored after 44 seconds, plus Johan Djourou made it 2-0 moments later and Robin van Persie scored twice to set the Gunners on their way to what looked like being a routine win.
The Newcastle fans were not happy (some of whom appeared to leave the stadium before half time) and manager Alan Pardew was under pressure.
Cue a rousing comeback from the Magpies, who scored four times in the final 22 minutes to secure an unlikely point.
Two Joey Barton penalties and a finish from Leon Best made it 4-3, and then Cheick Tiote’s incredible long-range volley in the 87th minute sent St James’ Park wild. Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal superstars could not believe it, while Pardew and his Newcastle players and staff lost the plot.
When you think about Newcastle you think of rousing atmospheres, incredible spirit and wonderful goals.
This comeback had all of the above. It was a comeback for the ages.
