Yup, that's how it seemed 8 years ago today. Then up in Manchester something incredible happened. "Sven-Goran Eriksson's Manchester City were firmly in control, and Fulham were mathematically down. City led 2-0, courtesy of two splendid goals and Fulham's "Terminal Five" of a defence. Roy Hodgson's side were all but doomed to the Championship. That deficit, combined with events elsewhere, completed a fatal formula, the workings of which were etched across Hodgson's features as news filtered through of early goals for fellow relegation candidates Birmingham and Bolton. But a rare dose of self belief took over. Diomansky Kamara pounced on a Corluka error to pull back a goal. Danny Murphy followed up his feeble penalty to put Fulham level: 2-2. Then substitute Kamara completed the comeback by flashing in a stoppage time winner. The delirium in the Fulham technical area contrasted starkly with the stunned countenance of City's enigmatic owner, Thaksin Shinawatra." That was a somewhat edited version of what The Telegraph had to say. You can relive the start of the "Great Escape" more visually here:
