Longest No-Win Streaks After HT Lead
For each team, the longest consecutive run of league matches where they led at half-time but still failed to win
Leading at half-time is normally worth three points, so it says something that only six teams in 35 seasons have managed to go three consecutive matches without converting a half-time lead into a win. Crystal Palace hold the current record, letting three straight half-time leads slip across January 2019. Every team that has ever gone at least two in a row is listed here, with the opponents who punished them.
