Best start for 26 years - also as far as I can tell its the first time for 24 years that we have come back from 2-0 down to win. Looking at the record book the last time we did this was in 1995 v Spurs in the League Cup (Busst, Ndlovu & Salako getting the winner). In fact we have only ever done this 4 times before in total, vs Southampton in 1986 (Brazil, Pickering & Bennett getting the winner) - vs West Ham in League Cup Semi-Final in 1981 (Thompson 2 & Daly getting the winner) & finally vs Derby County in 1970 at Baseball Ground (Martin 2 & Clements getting the winner) so this seasons performances are already something special. On the downside you can add the fact that Dabo is the very first Cov player EVER to score 2 Own Goals in a game.
We are in for a very exciting season if this continues!!

PS Ive only checked from 2011/12 backwards
