Eric Potts, two goals in the last few minutes versus ?SunderlandWhen was the last time we turned defeat into victory so late in the game. I can't think of one. 0-3 down at Coventry to 3-3 was a goodie (and we missed a great chance at the last).
The Buckley goals were scored in the 83 and 90 minutes.
From 16:00.
What a day that was
Burnley?Steve Sidwell scored two in, I think, four minutes for a last minute comeback at Withdean. Can't remember the opponents though
1985, 2-0 down until the 75th minute and 3 goals in the last 5 minutes. I got BATTERED outside afterwards too which is APPROPRIATE seeing as it was GrimsbyGrimsby away in the late eighties, losing with a minute to go and won 4-2, I think.
Not necessarily 100% on topic re all comebacks but stats for The Amex show that we have scored a goal in the last 10 mins and then another in added on time, 5 times in the 329 Amex games (twice v West Ham). 3 of them comeback wins, 1 draw to win, and the other consolidated the lead already held.
06/08/11 v Doncaster Rovers (W 2-1 Champ.) - comeback win (83 & 90+8 mins)
26/10/19 v Everton (W 3-2 Prem.) - comeback win (80 pen & 90+4 o.g. mins)
22/05/22 v West Ham (W 3-1 Prem.) - draw to win (80 & 90+2 mins)
12/08/23 v Luton Town (W 4-1 Prem.) - consolidated the win from leading 2-1 (85 & 90+5 mins)
26/04/25 v West Ham (W 3-2Prem.) - comeback win (89 & 90+2 mins)
On top of these late late shows there have been 9 instances of us scoring 2 or more in the final 15 mins of games (75-90 only and not including added on time) 2 comeback wins, 3 draws to wins, 3 consolidating an already held lead and 1 defeat.
02/03/13 v Huddersfield (W 4-1 Champ.) - draw to win (76, 78 and pen on 81st min and the only time we've done either scenario in front of the South Stand)
11/03/14 v QPR (W 2-0 Champ.) - draw to win (77 & 86 mins)
12/08/14 v Cheltenham (W 2-0 Lge Cup) - draw to win (79 & 90 mins)
05/12/15 v Charlton (W 3-2 Champ.) - comeback win (83 & 85 mins)
15/04/16 v Fulham (W 5-0 Champ.) - consolidated the win from leading 3-0 (79 & 87 mins)
19/03/23 v Grimsby (W 5-0 FA Cup QF) - consolidated the win from leading 3-0 (82 & 90 mins)
24/08/24 v Crawley (W 4-0 Lge Cup) - consolidated the win from leading 3-0 (84 & 86 mins)
27/08/24 v Liverpool (L 2-3 Lge Cup) - trying to comeback from 0-2 and 1-3 (81 & 90 mins)
09/11/24 v Manchester City (W 2-1 Prem.) - comeback win (78 & 83 mins)
So statistically if we score twice after the 75th minute we go onto win the game 93% of the time. 13 wins and 1 defeat. I think we'd take that![]()

Burnley !! It was my lad's very first match. He was 7 years old, and I just wanted something to happen so that he'd at least want to come back. Dreadful grey drizzly December Withdean day... we were awful and 0-2 down. Enter Steve Sidwell... two quick very late goals and we danced home !! My lad is now a 30 year old passionate Brighton fan.Steve Sidwell scored two in, I think, four minutes for a last minute comeback at Withdean. Can't remember the opponents though
