"Craziest game"
Crazy! Team scores four goals in stoppage time
It doesn't get any crazier than this: a team in England's lower division has turned a 5-2 deficit into a victory in stoppage time.
"That was the craziest game of soccer I've ever seen and I can't imagine it ever being topped," said Stephen Jackson, coach of English tenth division side Yarm and Eaglescliffe FC, as quoted by Nova Radio.
What happened? In the match between Sunderland West End and Yarm in Northern League Division Two at the weekend, the hosts were seemingly comfortably ahead 5-2 until injury time. But then Yarm and Eaglescliffe FC really woke up.
The 3-5 scoreline in the 92nd minute appeared to be a mere cosmetic result, but after a converted penalty a minute later there was hope of a point. But that was not all: Thanks to two more goals (94th, 96th), Yarm actually turned the game around and won.
"Couldn't have made a bigger comeback"
It felt "unreal", said Yarm coach Jackson after the game. "There can't have been a greater comeback in the history of soccer."
