Bournemouth completed one of the English Premier League's greatest-ever comebacks against Luton Town on Wednesday, March 13.
While football lovers were giving their full attention to the UEFA Champions League, the Premier League, on the other hand, witnessed one of the biggest comeback wins in the league's history in more than 20 years.
It was Bournemouth and Luton Town who pulled out one of the most mouth-watering Premier League games of the season.
What happened?
Luton dominated the first half, showcasing their attacking prowess with Tahith Chong, Chiedozie Ogbene, and Ross Barkley finding the net to motivate the visitors to a strong lead at halftime.
However, the halftime break appeared to breathe fresh life into Bournemouth, who arose in the second half with renewed strength and determination.
Dominic Solanke started the comeback with a stunning goal, setting the stage for an incredible turnaround.
As the time changed direction in favor of Bournemouth, Illia Zabarnyi's wrapped finish further fueled their revival, bringing them within striking distance of Luton.
The stage was set for the home team, and Antoine Semenyo delivered in style with a blistering brace, completing Bournemouth's tremendous comeback.
It was the first time that a side had come back from three goals down to win in the Premier League since 2003 and only the fifth time in the league's history.
