VIDEO: Top Ten Premier League Games of All-Time
During the 19 seasons of Premier League football in England there have been a number of classic encounters that will last long in fans’ memories. The Premiership has been set alight by many encounters involving a selection of Premiership teams. These include classic Premiership games between Liverpool and Newcastle, Tottenham and Arsenal and the Manchester derby which have all produced memorable Premier League encounters. A special mention has to go to the West Ham 5-4 Bradford match in 2000 that only failed to make the list due to a lack of video footage! Here is a run down of the Top 10 Premier League matches to date…
10: Liverpool 3-3 Manchester United (1994) – United went 3 up in the first 24 minutes in this Premiership fixture at Anfield, before a brace from Nigel Clough and a Neil Ruddock header in front of the Kop earned a point for Liverpool and secured a great comeback.
9: Newcastle 4-3 Leicester (1997) – Newcastle completed a marvellous comeback after trailing 3-1 with 14 minutes to go at St James’ Park. A Premier League upset was on the cards before a stunning three kick led to a hat trick in the last 14 minutes by Newcastle hero Alan Shearer and the Magpies stole the points.

Tottneham 4 – 5 Arsenal (2004). A local derby with NINE different goalscorers doesn’t make the list? Ridiculous.

What about Everton’s 3-2 win over Wimbledon in 1994. It was the last game of the season, Wimbledon were on a 9 game unbeaten streak. Everton had been dire all season and were in the bottom 3. Everton needed to win to stay in the Premier League. 21 minutes in and a penalty and an own goal saw Everton 2-0 down, although they managed to get one back via a penalty of their own just before half time. A 35 yard pile driver on the hour from Barry Horne made it 2-2 before a winner from Graham Stuart with 9 minutes to go saw Everton stay up.
Did any of the other games have more riding on them?

Would have been classic had it been straight. Remarkable only for the bent goalkeeper. Everton deserved to go down, and would have but for the Malaysian syndicate.

I reckon Wolves V Leicester 2003.
Wolves were 0-3 at home at H/T, pooring rain and half the fans leaving, only for us to turn it around and come back to win 4-3, now that was a great game…
