British Open, 1999: A tournament better remembered for Jean van de Velde's epic collapse than for the winner himself. The Frenchman held a three-shot lead heading to the 18th on the final round and needed to hole an eight-foot putt for triple bogey to force a play-off with Justin Leonard and Paul Lawrie. Scotland's Lawrie would win the four-hole play-off to lift the Claret Jug, having trailed by 10 shots at the start of the fourth round to complete the biggest final round comeback in major championship history.

Uefa Champions League semi-final, 2019: Less than 24 hours after Liverpool pulled off their own thrilling comeback to reach the Champions League final at Barcelona’s expense, Tottenham Hotspur staged their own epic comeback. Already trailing to a Donny van de Beek goal from the first leg, Spurs found themselves 2-0 down after 35 minutes of the second in Amsterdam and seemingly on their way out of the competition. What transpired over the second half will go down in Tottenham folklore. Lucas Moura scored twice in four minutes to level the match but Spurs still needed a third to advance on away goals. When all seemed lost, the Brazilian completed his hat-trick in the 96th minute to send the North London club through to a first European Cup final in their history. Reuters
American League championship, 2004: The Boston Red Sox were looking to end an 86-year wait for the World Series while trying to put to bed the 'Curse of the Bambino' - in place since Babe Ruth was traded to the New York Yankees in 1918. Their hopes of reaching the World Series looked bleak when trailing the Yankees 3-0 in the American League championship, only to win the next four games and book a date with the St Louis Cardinals. Boston then swept St Louis 4-0 to clinch the biggest prize in baseball. Getty Images
America's Cup, 2013: Defending champions Oracle Team USA looked dead and buried when trailing eight races to one and faced elimination from the competition with one more defeat. The recruitment of British Olympic champion sailor Ben Ainslie ahead of the sixth race proved a masterstroke and Oracle Team USA won seven consecutive races to retain the title. Getty Images
French Open final, 1999: A remarkable comeback not only in this one match but for Andre Agassi's career. The American former world No 1 had slumped to 141st in the rankings by 1997 and was playing in regional tournaments during a tumultuous time for his personal life. Two years later, Agassi fought back 1-6, 2-6 down in the French Open final against Andriy Medvedev to win 1-6, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 to clinch the title and complete his career Grand Slam. Getty Images
Uefa Champions League semi-final, 2019: Three-nil down to Barcelona. Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s star striker, is ruled out for the return leg. So is Roberto Firmino, the bustling Brazilian. But this is Liverpool, at Anfield, a place where magical European nights take place. Divock Origi, the Belgian largely marginalized since arriving at Liverpool in 2014, scored after seven minutes. Georginio Wijnaldum, on as a half-time substitute for the injured Andy Robertson, scored two quickfire goals to level the tie. Then a moment of genius. Trent Alexander-Arnold appeared to be walking away from a corner kick when he suddenly turned and flashed in a low cross to Origi with the Barca defence asleep on the job. Origi keeps his shot under the bar. Cue pandemonium at Anfield as Liverpool booked a place in their ninth European Cup final. PA via AP
India v Australia Test series, 2001: After losing the first Test, India looked in position to go 2-0 down in Kolkata when they were forced to follow on by Australia captain Steve Waugh while trailing by 274 runs. Waugh's decision appeared to be vindicated when India were reduced to 115-3 in their second innings. However, an incredible 281-run knock by VVS Laxman, pictured, and 180 from Rahul Dravid turned the Test on its head and India went on to win by 171 runs. India would win the series 2-1. Getty Images
Uefa Champions League last-16, 2017: French club Paris Saint-Germain were in complete control after a 4-0 first-leg win over Barcelona. The Spanish giants set about overturning the deficit at Camp Nou and were leading 3-0 after 50 minutes. However, Edinson Cavani pulled one back for PSG with less than 30 minutes remaining, leaving Barca needing another three goals to progress. Step forward Neymar, who scored in the 88th minute and again three minutes later before assisting for Sergi Roberto's dramatic late winner. Barcelona won the tie 6-1 to progress to the quarter-finals 6-5 on aggregate. Getty Images
Superbowl, 2017: This Super Bowl pitted the era-defining New England Patriots bidding for their fifth title against the Atlanta Falcons aiming to win their first.

However, a rousing fightback from the Patriots saw them win the fourth quarter 19-0 to force overtime where they emerged 34-28 winners. It was the biggest comeback win in the history of the Super Bowl and the first time a Super Bowl was decided in overtime. Getty Images
