Portsmouth – 2005/06
Pompey had just 18 points at the beginning of March, and defeat to Villa left the club a gloomy eight points off 17th-placed with just 10 games to go.
Portsmouth needed inspiration – and they got just that. A sublime extra time volley to snatch victory against Manchester City by Pendro Mendes lifted the team, and they went on to win six out of their last 10 fixtures to make a heroic run to safety.
