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.
