Greatest Ever Premier League game?

[Mark_w]

I may not have gone to four. or seen three, but I'm still confident enough to vote for the United game. There's no beating Sunday.

[Manwell Pablo]

If you were a neutral looking at genuine quality it might swing the way of the Arsenal game.

 

If you a Leicester fan it's a no brainer  

[Nalis]

Decided to go for the neutral's stance of Arsenal 3-3 but yeah this victory was unreal.

Hoping Utd aren't involved in many others like this as I dont want any shine taken off our classic win.

[Corky]

This one, as a newly promoted side up against a feared attacking line-up. However well or badly Man United have been doing, they don't throw away dominant positions as the stats show.

 

It's our greatest Premier League match without a doubt, to turn a seemingly lost cause into a rampant finish where we looked capable of adding to our five goals.

[crisp packet]

Man U was the Greatest ever for me full stop. Great goals by them 0-2 quick reply 1-2

1-3 then to win is amazing ? to win by 5-3 well......

[Dom_Harborough Fox]

Wasn't at the Arsenal or Derby games in person but went to the other three.

 

The United game is head and shoulders above Sunderland or Leeds for me.
 

[Karljohn]

It had the lot, penalties, red card, 8 goals, and the greatest 25 mins of attacking play in our history which resulted in four goals against arguably the biggest name in world football. Waited 33 years for this, and it was my greatest game.

The 3-2 win against Forest was a better experience for me and by a fair bit too. This is a definite second though.

You talking the 3-1 over them? As far as I remember we've only beat them once in the Prem and it was 3-1 at Filbo

People have started talking about their favourite game or favourite league game. Beating Forest to take a play-off spot would me entry for those two.

Under the circumstances, taking all things into account, summing up the possibilities, thinking it all over, eventually coming to a descision, not wanting to sit on the fence, looking at it from all angles, not wanting to seem indecisive, putting my hand on the table, after trying to hold the cards close to my chest, not wanting to be called bias, seeing things in the light of day, no rose tinted spectacles, wanting to put my pension on it, having no further doubts, taking a punt, following the sincerity of my beliefs, sleeping on it overnight, the jury is no longer out, the judge has dropped the hammer, too late for second thoughts,

rien ne va plus, the train will be delayed for another....

putting you out of your misery, without further ado....

Y E S, Y E S, and yes again. mmmm I think.

[ADK]

For me it's marred by the fact our 2nd wasn't a penalty, after than Man U imploded. I went for the 4-0 vs Derby as we just destroyed them. 3-3 vs Arse is a good shout too.

Where's the cliché police when you need them..?

[Freesolo]

TBH the greatest feeling for me was Claridge scoring the goal in the last minute of extra time vs Palace in the Play off Finals. But its not a Premier League game so doesn't count

 

If i had been at the United game i might have said that but for me it will always be the Arsenal 3-3 Bergkamp scored the best hatrick ive ever seen and 3 goals in extra time the emotional ride has never been topped for me in a Prem game

"A superb start to the season saw Leicester City begin October on top of the league just four months after the appointment of Peter Taylor as Martin O'Neill's successor - they had not occupied top place since 1963. "

After beating Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford bridge. A complete performance to go top, down hill afterwards but to me this far outweighs a one off result such as the 3-3 and the such like, yet is not even mentioned. Strange how differant people see things. Just thought I should put this in the mix.

[Fez of Mahrez]

Lucky enough to have been there for all of these and I'd say Sunday's game. It had an other worldly feel about it, from worrying at 3-1 down about how many their multi-zillion pound attack might score to suddenly dominating for half an hour and being close to winning 6 or 7-3.

The Arsenal game only really took off towards the end. The Leeds 4-0 felt good at the time but doesn't really belong in this company. The Derby 4-0 was amazing but they were terrible and it was all over after 15 minutes. The Sunderland 5-2 was great and that's second on the list for me as they had Quinn and Phillips and they were in it for most of the game despite the eventual scoreline.

What struck me about Sunday compared to all of the above is that we competed for 90 minutes against world class players. Even when we were 2-0 down, they'd only had three shots and we'd looked generally okay, and we were back in it straight away.

You've also got to point to the iconic nature of the third and fourth goals - that it was Cambiasso who got the equaliser and celebrated in the same way he celebrated famous goals for Inter Milan, with that crazed look in his eyes and then Vardy's which is straight in as one of my favourite Leicester goals ever.

The thing about Vardy's goal is that it sums up the pace, fearlessness, coolness under pressure and big game mentality that this team has showed for some time now, on the biggest stage yet at the most crucial moment yet. Just the way Vardy winds up as if he's going to smash it, then strokes it into the corner past De Gea - it's poetry. That, combined with the roar of the crowd, makes it ludicrously watchable time and time again.

In that actual moment, I didn't even move let alone celebrate. I'd gone crazy for Cambiasso's goal and went crazy again when Ulloa scored the fifth but for Vardy's I just stood there, confused by the sheer confidence I had in him scoring from the moment he received the ball. I knew we were about to come back from 3-1 down against Manchester United to lead 4-3.

At 3-1 it had all felt a bit like the last time we were in the Premier League and we had competed but found ourselves on the wrong end of a Ruud van Nistelrooy hat trick even though he hadn't done anything else in the game other than score three times.

At 5-3 it felt slightly different and it's taken me a few days to really take on board what happened.

[sylofox]

Wait till we stuff them at OT.

[ithuriel]

The Man Utd game for me, simply because we came back from 3-1 down and managed to up a gear beyond them, after the Cambiaso goal they just could not raise their game whilst we did and ran them ragged and we kept hitting them, just a shame we never got that sixth the crowd wanted.

When Cambiasos goal went in the atmosphere, which has been really something thus far this season and reminded me quite a bit of Filbert Street, went beyond anything I've ever seen or felt before at a Leicester match, including beating Derby at Wembley. 

The only disconcerting thing was feeling the stadium moving beneath my feet XD.

[Kinowe Soorie]

I remember being in the home end for the Derby game.

 

We started off like a house on fire and he put his arm over my shoulders and whispered "we'll get punched if we celebrate".

 

Heskey scored and he went ****ing berserk

 

 

 

There are some games that will stay with you for the rest of your life and today's was one.

Who did?

[Freesolo]

Nothing will ever top the atmosphere at Wembley that day for me I've lost my voice a couple of tims but i couldn't talk properly for a few days after this game

Great post. I definitely think the celebrations of such goals were influenced by us as a crowd. It's the loudest I've heard it in ages (Everton on first day was loud but this was better throughout the match I'd say). And of course it's the euphoria and ecstasy of scoring against such talented opposition and getting back in to the game against them, but I think Cambiasso's goal/celebration definitely reciprocated our efforts in welcoming him to the King Power. When his goal went in it was like being back at Filbert Street where the crowd would basically suck the ball in to the net. 

 

The thing I love about our fans this season is that whenever we go down, there's not really a sense of prolonged disappointment - yes the first reaction is, but almost immediately we get behind the players again and start urging them on to come back in the game. I genuinely believe its no coincidence that we score virtually almost after the opposition do because of how the fans react in a positive manner.
