K-League Side Gangwon FC Produce The Greatest Comeback Of All Time

K-League Side Gangwon FC Produce The Greatest Comeback Of All Time

Gangwon FC manager Kim Byung-soo must have borrowed Sir Alex Ferguson's hair dryer at half-time during Sunday's seven goal thriller against Pohang Steelers.

With his side 3-0 down at the break following goals from Wanderson Carvalho (2) and Lee Seok-Hyun, the K-League outfit left the home dressing room a completely different team.

Despite conceding a fourth goal in the 57th minute, Cho Jae-Wan scored in the 71st minute to make it 1-4.

Eight minutes later, Gangwon defender Valentino Sielis clawed another goal back to make it 2-4.

Then, in perhaps the most scintillating end to a game ever, that man Jae-Wan scored twice in the space of four minutes to level the tie at 4-4.

With seconds left on the clock, veteran striker JungJo-Gook completed the comeback in the 96th minute, sending those in the Chuncheon Songam stadium into hysterics.


Surely that has to go down as the greatest comeback of all time, although some Liverpool fans might disagree.

Trailing 3-0 from the first leg at the Nou Camp and without Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino for the semi-final second leg, the Reds dismantled Barcelona 4-0 on a memorable Champions League night at Anfield last season.

Divock Origi and Gini Wijnaldum bagged braces to send Jurgen Klopp's side into a second consecutive Champions League final and the rest is, as they say, history.

Of course, Liverpool lifted their sixth European Cup in Madrid, but was their semi-final win against Barca the greatest of all time?

Let us know in the comments.
