4. Arsenal 2-4 Norwich City - 1992

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQWp0Yewis4 It was all going according to plan. Approaching the final twenty minutes, the Gunners were two goals to the good and nailed on for routine victory over a Norwich City side who had escaped relegation by three points the previous term. With Steve Bould and Kevin Campbell having relaxed the atmosphere at Highbury, the North Londoners with lofty title aspirations clicked into cruise control. The Canaries wings had been well and truly clipped, with three points all but assured. After all, George Graham's sides never let leads slip. Ucharacteristically, the Gunners imploded in spectacular fashion, shipping four goals in the final twenty minutes of the match. With substitute Mark Robins expertly placing a diving header past David Seaman, David Phillips levelled matters, before Ruel Fox and Robins helped sealed the comeback which sent shockwaves rippling throughout the Premier League's first ever opening day.
