On 4 February 2004, Kevin Keegan’s Manchester City snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by staging a remarkable second half comeback to overturn a three-goal deficit with 10 men in an FA Cup fourth round replay at Tottenham Hotspur.
‘Spurs 3-4 City: Greatest FA Cup comeback’ recounts that unforgettable evening at White Hart Lane, with contributions from those involved and those who witnessed a game which has gone down in the annals of FA Cup history.
We hear from match-winner Jon Macken, fellow goalscorer Shaun Wright-Phillips, Michael Brown – who was playing for Spurs at the time – Ledley King and several City fans.
After a 1-1 draw in the initial tie, Keegan’s men got off to a nightmare start when King curled the hosts in front after two minutes, with Robbie Keane adding a second before Christian Ziege fired home a 25-yard free-kick to open up a three-goal lead.
City’s hopes of an unlikely comeback diminished when we went down to 10 men, but the visitors started the second period brightly as Sylvain Distin pulled one back three minutes after the break.
A volley from Paul Bosvelt gave the 10 men hope and the fightback was complete when Wright-Phillips chipped Kasey Keller with 10 minutes remaining, but City weren’t done and in the 90th minute Macken headed home to seal an extraordinary win.
