Shocking United stat at Old Trafford

I wonder if we're the best in Europe for this stat then. You'd imagine PSG, Bayern or one of the la Liga clubs should go close.

Has there been any games when we've taken the lead in the 2nd half but ended up losing?

Away from home the last one was : August 30th 2015, Swansea-United 2-1 (Mata 48', Ayew 61', Gomis 66').

Another LvG special was the 5-3 at Leicester, in which we surrendered a two goal lead 2/3 into the game.

As for home games, make a guess. Was it post-SAF, during the SAF era, or before?
 
So I started researching Dinamo Zagreb, and they might have a record that equals ours, but it was super-difficult to confirm games before 2000.
I've listed the games where I couldn't find when the goals where scored in the game, in case someone else wants to have a go at googling.
Maybe some Croatian users will have more luck.

EDIT: Goes no further back than to 1989. April 19th. 6 unconfirmed games between then and now.


2002 Apr 14 - Dinamo Zagreb 2 - 3 Rijeka
1996 Oct 13 - Croatia Zagreb 2 - 3 Mladost 127 (Mladost 127 is now called Suhopolje, some pages may list is as such)
1996 Apr 21 - Croatia Zagreb 3 - 4 Varteks (Varteks is now called NK Varazdin, some pages may list it as such)
1994 Apr 24 - Croatia Zagreb 1 - 2 Belisce
1993 Aug 28 - Croatia Zagreb 2 - 3 Inker Zapresic (Inker Zapresic was later renamed Inter Zapresic)
1990 Sep 29 - Dinamo Zagrebi 1 - 1 Osijek (not sure if this count, but Dinamo lost 5-6 on penalties. Yes it was a league game.)
1989 Apr 19 - Dinamo Zagreb 1 - 3 Osijek <<<< Found Video. Looks like the run stops here. Davor Suker is in this one. He joined Dinamo shortly after.

Croatia Zagreb, and HASK Gradanski are old names for Dinamo Zagreb.
Same website will list Dinamo Zagreb as HASK Gradanski before 1991 as well.

Pay tribute to another defence of The Streak. It moves onto the 24/25 season.
 
I imagine some of the more dominant teams in the last decade have their own mini-version of this.

Winning a match at half time, at home. The criteria for the stat lends itself to lasting a long time.

I'm sure this has come up before, but I don't think there's many that get remotely close
