Belgium were trailing 2-0 when Marouane Fellaini and Nacer Chadli were brought on by boss Roberto Martinez to try and salvage a result.

4. England 2-2 Greece - World Cup qualifiers, 2001

And sticking with World Cups, footy legend David Beckham sent England to the 2002 World Cup finals in dramatic fashion.

They were trailing Greece 2-1 deep into injury time and looked destined for a difficult play-off against Ukraine.

But Beckham, having failed with his last five free kicks, finally secured qualification with a goal in the 93rd minute.

5. Manchester United 2 - 1 Bayern Munich - European Cup, 1999

And keeping with classic matches, two injury time goals from substitutes Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer secured the European Cup for Manchester United in dramatic fashion.

Bayern Munich had taken an early lead and the German side were ahead for 85 minutes of the game. But it wasn't enough to lead them to victory!

If you've ever wondered why United fans already had banners with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's name on it when he became their manager... well, now you know!
