Wolves 4-3 Leicester City, 25/10/2003 A seven-goal six-pointer with all the goals at the same end. Leicester stormed into a 3-0 half-time lead thanks to a Les Ferdinand double and a rare Riccardo Scimeca goal. But Wolves gained heart from two Colin Cameron strikes in the first 15 minutes of the second half, and Alex Rae's header set up the heroic comeback. Sure enough, in the 86th minute, Henri Camara met Dennis Irwin's cross to cap a truly memorable Molineux day. GP 83. Leicester 0-5 Bolton, 18/08/2001 Bolton announced their Premier League arrival with an annihilation of Leicester. The Foxes had the better of the opening exchanges but Bolton dealt with the flurry of long balls and Kevin Nolan scored the new season's first top-flight goal with a looped header from a Per Frandsen cross. Michael Ricketts outmuscled Gary Rowett to larrup in a second before a well-worked Frandsen set-piece was finished by Nolan. In first-half stoppage time Frandsen powered home a free-kick, and the Dane completed the demolition late on by curling a free-kick into Tim Flowers' top corner. Sam Allardyce's side had arrived but Leicester, who left the Filbert Street pitch to calls for Peter Taylor's resignation, were on a slide that would include two relegations and administration. GP 74. Newcastle 4-3 Leicester, 02/02/1997 When the home side took an early lead through Robbie Elliot, it looked like being a routine day at the office for Newcastle and their manager Kenny Dalglish, just three weeks into his new job. The Magpies should have been out of sight by the time Matt Elliot headed Leicester level shortly after the break, and it went from bad to worse for the Geordies, as Steve Claridge and then Emile Heskey gave the Foxes an unlikely 3-1 lead with little over 20 minutes left. The home team looked deflated, but the arrival of substitute David Ginola helped turn the tide. Alan Shearer thundered home a free kick, then quickly notched the equaliser with a brilliantly placed shot from 18 yards. The darling of the St James’ Park crowd completed his hat-trick and a memorable comeback by tapping in Rob Lee’s low cross to the far post in the dying seconds.

Leicester 3-3 Arsenal, 27/08/1997 Although Arsenal would ultimately go on to win the title in 1997/98, it wasn’t all plain sailing. They endured a stuttering start to the campaign, including this classic draw at Filbert Street. Dennis Bergkamp was the star of the show, putting the Gunners 2-0 up with an hour played. Arsenal were untroubled until Emile Heskey pulled one back late on and then Matt Elliot scored what looked to be the final goal to equalise in the 93rd minute. Bergkamp was not done though and had time to score one of the great Premier League goals as he brought down a cross, beat his man and gloriously slotted the ball past Kasey Keller with the inside of his right foot. But this was STILL not the end of the goal action. The match endured long enough for Foxes skipper Steve Walsh to head home the latest of levelers.

Larry_LCFC Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 The United 5-3 missing just makes a mockery of the list really. One of the greatest games Ive ever witnessed.
Jimothy Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Can't see any games from last season. Surely this must have been compiled at the end of the 2014 season?
Soar Fox Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 No 5-3 but Bolton drawing 0-0 at home to Everton makes the list.
Jimothy Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Our 4-4 with Spurs from 2003/2004 should have made this list too.
Xen Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 No.3, Liverpool 4 - 3 Newcastle, 03/04/1996 Apparently voted the finest match of the first decade of the PL. And yet No.2 in the list is Arsenal 3 - 2 Man Utd, 09/11/1997 D'oh.
Benguin Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Whoever wrote this article is an Ostrich, clearly has their head in the sand and frankly needs to fvck off an die if i'm perfectly honest IMO
General Smuts Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Joe. has explaining to do. Especially as he wrote some of it.
Kitchandro Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 I can't be arsed to read the list, it's almost certainly going to be biased in favour of the big clubs and Man Utd in particular.
StanSP Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Travesty that the 5-3 isn't there and that's not even a biased view.
Soar Fox Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 I can't be arsed to read the list, it's almost certainly going to be biased in favour of the big clubs and Man Utd in particular. It's basically all Arsenal & Man united with a few other teams thrown in now & again.
Guest MattP Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Thst is seriously poor, expect better from 4-4-2 as well.
Matt Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Leicester 5 - 2 Sunderland. Collymore's debut. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sport/football/fa_carling_premiership/666908.stm That should be on the list, but i'm sure we could add many games to that list looking throught blue tinted glasses!
Corky Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Travesty that the 5-3 isn't there and that's not even a biased view. There's no bias involved. Man United don't throw away 2-goal leads. They don't throw them away and lose. They don't concede four goals in 30 minutes to a promoted side five games into the season. It's not even debatable, it's clearly one of the best games the league has seen. As Southampton beating them 6-3 was.
Brooksy Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 If Spurs 5-3 Chelsea isn't there then it must have been written before last season.
lestajigs Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Was at 3 of these games, the wolves one was like WTF
