The latest round of Premier League fixtures saw three comeback victories that varied significantly in how surprising they were.

At St Mary's on Saturday, Southampton came from behind to beat Tottenham against the odds in their first win after going a goal down this season. At the other end of the country, Newcastle were fighting back from two goals down with 25 minutes remaining to beat Everton. Then, on Sunday, Liverpool recovered from the early setback of a Burnley opener to eventually run out comfortable winners at Anfield.

While Liverpool remained the bookies' favourites to win even at a goal down, few would have foreseen Newcastle scoring three late goals or Southampton forging their first comeback win of the season against top four chasers Spurs.

Comeback wins are occurring slightly more frequently than usual. This season, 12.3 per cent of Premier League games have resulted in comebacks, which is - just about - the second-highest proportion in the competition's history.

As Tottenham, Everton and Burnley found out over the weekend, this isn't a time to take anything for granted, but some teams are faring far better in this regard than others.

Comeback kings

Liverpool's comeback was nothing new: they have won more Premier League games after going behind than any other team this season, with four. Their response to conceding first is aggresive and impressive in equal measure.
