DELVE into your mind deep enough and somewhere will be the enduring memory of Liverpool’s stunning, late 5-4 win over Norwich from the 2015-16 season.
The Reds made the long trip to Carrow Road looking to get back on track after a shaky run of form, but found themselves 3-1 down having taken a 1-0 lead early in the first half.
After surging back to 4-3 ahead with just seconds left in the game it looked all but over.
Enter Sebastien Bassong, who rifled the Canaries level from 18 yards to seal a point.
Or had he? With Jurgen Klopp raging at the fourth official Adam Lallana unbelievably volleyed home a winner.
Cue silence around Carrow Road. Stunned silence. What a few minutes. What a game.
It will almost certainly go down in history as one of the greatest Premier League encounters of all time.
With that in mind, SunSport runs down some of the most famous encounters in the top flight in the Prem era.
