The comeback victory over Wolves has been celebrated and viewed as a sign that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal rebuilding project is coming to fruition.

For those of us who were lucky enough to witness the successful Arsenal sides of the Arsene Wenger era, coming from behind was almost a given. That’s how good these teams were.

In recent years these types of victories have been hard to come by. In fact, based on the past few seasons, the comeback against Wolves would probably not have happened. There have been so many capitulations of leads and an inability to put a game away.

While watching the Wolves match, I of course was hoping that the team could come back. However, as the game headed towards the last ten minutes, I was preparing myself for disappointment and a missed opportunity to get a leg up in the race for a Champions League spot.

After Nicolas Pepe scored the tying goal, I suddenly experienced that wave of confidence that I used to have watching Arsenal. I hadn’t felt that way since the days of Henry, Rosicky, Cazorla, Ramsey, etc.

Then Lacazette rewarded that belief with his part in the Gunners’ 95th minute winning goal.

Arsenal has been involved in many come-from-behind victories over the years. To narrow it down I decided to take a look at some of the more memorable during the Premier League era. Here are ten of the best Gunners comebacks.

Of course, feel free to suggest your favorite matches that should be added to this list.
