Bournemouth join exclusive 'Comeback Club'

When your team's three goals down at the break, even the most optimistic fan will be struggling to entertain the idea of a glorious comeback victory - but that's exactly what Bournemouth did last night in their thrilling 4-3 win over Luton Town. 

Trailing to goals from Tahith Chong, Chiedozie Ogbene and Ross Barkley, the Cherries traipsed into the changing room at the interval with a proverbial mountain to climb. 

However, a fantastic strike from in-form striker Dominic Solanke gave the south coast club a glimmer of hope and a 62nd minute goal from Ukrainian defender Illia Zabarnyi reduced the deficit to a single goal. Step forward winger Antoine Semenyo, who fired home a double to record a famous win for Andoni Iraola's side. 

Bournemouth's rollercoaster victory was of epic proportions - the magnitude of their achievement underlined by the fact that only FOUR clubs had previously ever managed to come from behind and win after falling three goals behind.
