2000: Southampton 3-3 Liverpool

Southampton fought back from 3-0 down in the final 17 minutes to rescue a point against Liverpool.

A Michael Owen brace and a Sami Hyypia header had given the visitors a seemingly unassailable lead.

But Marian Pahars pulled a goal back and, although Liverpool were still leading 3-1 after 84 minutes, Tahar El-Khalej and Pahars struck late on to stun their guests.

Despite Southampton's heroics, they remained in the relegation zone with two points from three matches, while Liverpool moved up to 12th place.
