Bradley Johnson scores in Albion's amazing comeback win over Leicester in 2008

Robbie Savage played more games for Leicester City than any other club.
But it was an early exit by the Welsh midfielder AGAINST the Foxes which helped turn a memorable League One game at Withdean.
Savage, on loan to the Seagulls, and Kevin McLeod were both taken off at half-time with the Seagulls 2-0 down to high-flying city in October 2008 The extra pace of Dean Cox and Kevin Thornton helped turn the game as Albion grabbed an astonishing 3-2 win.
Bradley Johnson, the on-loan midfielder who had trained with Leeds that morning, scored twice from distance and Jack Hobbs turned a low cross into his own net for 89th-minute decider.
Leicester lost to a last-gasp Will Buckley goal on their first visit to The Amex last season.
But they will have fond memories of a day they get the serious business over and done with very quickly at Withdean.
That was in the latter stages of the 2005-06 season when they came south for a relegation six-pointer.
There was much build-up and anticipation – but Paddy McCarthy and Iain Hume had City 2-0 up in five minutes.
Alex Frutos pulled a second-half goal back for Albion, who eventually went down.
