#4 Newcastle 4-4 Arsenal (2011)
This game had it all, red cards, fights and inconceivable comebacks. After just 10 minutes, Arsenal were 3-0 up at St. James Park, cruising and flexing their quality.
Fifteen minutes later, the Gunners 4-0 up and Arsene Wenger was smiling from ear to ear. However, things took a dramatic turn when Abou Diaby was sent off for physically abusing Joey Barton and Kevin Nolan. Little were we to know the importance of that red card.
Two Joey Barton penalties and a cool Leon Best finish put the game on a knife edge after the break. Until a moment of magic happened, Late Cheik Tiote showed the technique of a prime Kaka to volley home a 20-yarder from the edge of the box. The goal sent the fans into exodus and left Arsenal, ironically, 4 points behind Manchester United.
