With an hour gone at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday night, Southampton were three goals down however after incredible fightback, the Saints roared back before Shea Charles sealed a 4-3 in stoppage time.
Of course, Southampton's fightback was equally Leicester City's collapse. The Foxes defence is the second worst in the Championship this season having shipped 51 goals in just 32 matches with only Sheffield Wednesday having conceded more (62).
Incredibly, overturning a three-goal deficit to go on to win a game has only happened twice in the Championship since its rebrand early in the 2000s.
The first time it happened was in the 2005/06 season when Leeds United found themselves 3-0 down away to Southampton of all teams before the game finished 4-3 to the visitors.
Paul Butler scored what may have felt like a consolation at the time with Robbie Blake, David Healy from the spot, and an 86th-minute goal from Liam Miller completing a remarkable turnaround with his only goal for the club in his loan spell.
Like Southampton, Leeds were also on both sides of a three-goal collapse as we flash forward to September 2010.
Admittedly, the Whites' three-goal cushion didn't last quite as long against Preston North End that day. No sooner had Davide Somma made it 4-1 with his second of the game in a frantic first half had Preston pulled it back to 4-2 through Jon Parkin's second.
The Lancashire team scored four unanswered goals in the second half to make the score 4-6 in a ten goal thriller with Parkin completing his hat-trick. However, Leeds eventually finished seventh that year while Preston ended up in League One.
