Chelsea face Aston Villa in the Premier League today, sending thoughts back to one crazy encounter at Stamford Bridge.
Eight goals, three red cards and a stoppage time equaliser ensured this clash from 2008 went down in history as one of the leagues all-time best matches.
The Villains had raced to an early lead thanks to a brace from Shaun Maloney, but two goals from Andriy Shevchenko levelled up the scores.
As the minutes ticked away in the second half, the game looked to be ending in a 3-3 draw, until Michael Ballack netted what looked to have been an 88th minute winner with a free kick. That put the scores at 4-3, until a Gareth Barry penalty in the 92nd minute handed Villa a dramatic point.
Today's match won't be this frantic, surely?
