Goals scored deep into the stoppage time have made the Premier League the most exciting league in the world.
From controversial penalties to last-gasp winners and stunning comebacks, these strikes have rewritten history.
Here’s a look at the latest goals ever recorded in the competition, where seconds made all the difference.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes scored arguably the most controversial goal in Premier League history.
Referee Chris Kavanagh had already blown the final whistle before VAR spotted a handball from Neal Maupay, resulting in a last-gasp penalty for Man Utd.
Fernandes put away a 100th-minute spot kick to inspire the Red Devils to a highly dubious 3-2 victory at the Amex Stadium during the season marred by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The maiden instalment of the iconic Merseyside derby at Everton’s brand-new Hill Dickinson Stadium could not have ended in a more dramatic way.
When it looked like Everton and Liverpool would share the spoils in a 1-1 draw after Beto cancelled out Mohamed Salah’s equaliser, Virgil van Dijk headed home Dominik Szoboszlai’s corner-kick delivery to silence the home fans.
Van Dijk’s last-minute header marked the Reds’ sixth 90th-minute winner against the Toffees – the most one side has netted against a single opponent in the competition’s history.
It’s hard to tell whether the Dutchman’s goal saved Arne Slot’s job. However, there’s a feeling that the former Feyenoord manager will stay at Anfield for at least one more season, with the Reds set to secure Champions League qualification.
Tottenham Hotspur pulled off one of the most remarkable comebacks in recent memory in 2023, overturning a 1-0 deficit against Sheffield United in incredible fashion.
Despite facing a narrow deficit in the eighth minute of the second-half stoppage time, Spurs scored a late equaliser through Richarlison before Dejan Kulusevski completed the turnaround.
Only two minutes and 20 seconds separated the two goals as Tottenham secured one of the most fascinating victories in the modern era of English football.
Current Melbourne City star Juan Mata opened his Chelsea account in 2011 with only the second Premier League goal scored beyond the 100-minute mark in a 3-1 home triumph over Norwich City.
Didier Drogba’s head injury warranted a lengthy added time, with the Blues leading by two goals to one, courtesy of Frank Lampard’s penalty 10 minutes from time.
However, it didn’t stop Mata from slotting home a perfectly-placed shot into the bottom corner after being gifted the ball by a terrible defensive mistake to put the game to bed.
Leon Bailey scored in the 101st minute of Aston Villa’s come-from-behind 3-1 home win over Crystal Palace in the early stages of the 2023/24 Premier League season.
His late strike was not a game-winner, as Douglas Luiz converted a 98th-minute penalty to complete Villa’s turnaround, with Jhon Duran pulling them level in the 87th minute.
Bailey’s goal helped Villa put the result beyond doubt and secure a ninth consecutive home league triumph, which was the club’s record run at the time.
Arsenal fought back from a first-half deficit to beat arch-rivals Man Utd 3-1, only a fortnight before Villa’s win over Palace, with Gabriel Jesus netting another late goal.
