5 forgotten comebacks in football

#2 Reading 5-7 Arsenal

Many fans will tell you that it was only Reading, so Arsenal’s famous comeback doesn’t deserve to be celebrated. Don’t listen to them, because if it were their team, they would be talking about how great their winning mentality and never-say-die attitude is.

In the pre-quarterfinals of the Capital One Cup, Reading stunned the entire stadium by racing away to a 3 goal lead inside 20 mins and soon they were 4 goals to the good. Though Theo Walcott pulled one back for the Gunners at the stroke of half time, there wasn’t much hope that they would make a comeback. But they did just that, levelling the scores in stoppage time. The drama wasn’t over as both teams scored in extra time, before Arsenal put the nail in the Reading coffin with 2 goals at the end.
