Comebacks are the hallmark of champions, and Manchester City came from 2-1 down to defeat Southampton 3-2 in their opening Premier League game of the 2012/13 season.
Samir Nasri's 80th minute winner came merely 12 minutes after Saints' Steve Davis had given the promoted side a shock lead at Eastlands as City again rallied to win by a whisker.
It is a trait they have become renowned for under manager Roberto Mancini, and it is additionally satisfying for their supporters since they are emulating (and maybe even surpassing) neighbours United for dramatic, late comebacks.
So in tribute to the never-say-die Citizens, including Sunday's 3-2 win, here's five of their best comebacks...
CITY 2-1 CHELSEA
CITY 3-2 SPORTING LISBON
CITY 3-3 SUNDERLAND
