North-east team Yarm & Eaglescliffe grab four in five minutes to seal 6-5 win in Northern League Division Two

Step aside Barcelona , forget all the talk about Charlton , Roma and the miracle of Istanbul . Gas engineer Tom Atkinson and Yarm & Eaglescliffe FC could well now be the go-to for football comebacks after a remarkable non-league game in the north-east of England at the weekend.

Sunderland West End were coasting at 5-2 up in the 92nd minute of their Northern League Division Two game and Yarm’s supporters could have been forgiven for having made their excuses and left. But an incredible four-goal burst then sealed the most unlikely of victories for the visitors.
