Tomer Hemed hit the winner last time Albion came from two down at half-time to win.

The former striker now has a mentoring role with the club’s academy and watched the drama against Tottenham from the stand.

A very young Ademola Lookman helped struggling Charlton into an early 2-0 lead back on December 2015 but it felt at half-time like the high-flying and still unbeaten Seagulls could still get back into the game.

That it was not a larger deficit was due to saves by David Stockdale, who was applauded by the North Stand at half-time despite the fact his team were two down.

James Wilson, Bobby Zamora and Hemed scored after the break.

A win from arrears of 2-0 had happened once before in the Premier League – against the might of Manchester City at the end of 2020-21.

Albion fell two down to a Phil Foden strike early in the second half but Leandro Trossard’s super goal sparked the fightback.

Adam Webster and Dan Burn completed the job.

Both those comebacks were against ten men as Charlton had Patrick Bauer sent-off on 58 minutes (at 1-2) and City played one short from as early as the tenth minute following Joao Cancelo’s straight red.

Albion have come from two down to draw on several occasions in recent years.

The Tottenham game came one year and one day after they did just that in Europe with a goal from Sunday’s VIP guest Pascal Gross leading them to a 2-2 draw at Marseille.

They came from 2-0 down at Liverpool and 3-1 at West Ham for draws under Graham Potter and, six years ago, had back-to-back 2-2s from 2-0, at home to Fulham and away to Southampton.

Lewis Dunk scored the equaliser when the Seagulls came from 3-1 down to draw 3-3 at home to Wolves.

Stand-in boss Nathan Jones fired his team up to grab a 2-2 draw at home to Reading on Boxing Day, 2014, after Glenn Murray scored twice for the visitors.

There was a thrilling 3-3 draw at Brentford in the 2016-17 promotion season, that man Hemed scoring deep in added time, after the Seagulls had at one stage been 2-0 down facing a penalty, which Stockdale saved.

Albion were on course for a 0-2 to 3-2 win at home to Leeds in the very early days at the Amex – until Ross McCormack forced a 3-3 draw in the final seconds.

And then there was a remarkable night at Withdean in the 2008-09 season, with Albion at the wrong end of League One.

Robbie Savage’s loan spell led to a few good stories and got him fit for Derby County.

But it did little for Albion on the pitch.

The flamboyant midfielder was one of two players hauled off at half-time against his old club Leicester City, along with wideman Kevin McLeod, with the Foxes 2-0 up.

Bradley Johnson, another loanee who had travelled down from Leeds that morning, scored twice after the break and Jack Hobbs turned a low cross into his own net for the late Albion winner.
