Goals scored deep into the stoppage time have made the Premier League the most exciting league in the world.<\/p>\n

From controversial penalties to last-gasp winners and stunning comebacks, these strikes have rewritten history.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the latest goals ever recorded in the competition, where seconds made all the difference.<\/p>\n

10) Bruno Fernandes (99:45) \u2013 Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United, September 26, 2020<\/h2>\n

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes scored arguably the most controversial goal in Premier League history.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

9) Virgil van Dijk (99:53) \u2013 Everton vs Liverpool, April 19, 2026<\/h2>\n

The maiden instalment of the iconic Merseyside derby at Everton\u2019s brand-new Hill Dickinson Stadium could not have ended in a more dramatic way.<\/p>\n

When it looked like Everton and Liverpool would share the spoils in a 1-1 draw after Beto cancelled out Mohamed Salah\u2019s equaliser, Virgil van Dijk headed home Dominik Szoboszlai\u2019s corner-kick delivery to silence the home fans.<\/p>\n

Van Dijk\u2019s last-minute header marked the Reds\u2019 sixth 90th-minute winner against the Toffees \u2013 the most one side has netted against a single opponent in the competition\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to tell whether the Dutchman\u2019s goal saved Arne Slot\u2019s job. However, there\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

8) Dejan Kulusevski (99:53) \u2013 Tottenham Hotspur vs Sheffield United, September 16, 2023<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

7) Juan Mata (100:03) \u2013 Chelsea vs Norwich City, August 27, 2011<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Didier Drogba\u2019s head injury warranted a lengthy added time, with the Blues leading by two goals to one, courtesy of Frank Lampard\u2019s penalty 10 minutes from time.<\/p>\n

However, it didn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

6) Leon Bailey (100:09) \u2013 Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace, September 16, 2023<\/h2>\n

Leon Bailey scored in the 101st minute of Aston Villa\u2019s come-from-behind 3-1 home win over Crystal Palace in the early stages of the 2023\/24 Premier League season.<\/p>\n

His late strike was not a game-winner, as Douglas Luiz converted a 98th-minute penalty to complete Villa\u2019s turnaround, with Jhon Duran pulling them level in the 87th minute.<\/p>\n

Bailey\u2019s goal helped Villa put the result beyond doubt and secure a ninth consecutive home league triumph, which was the club\u2019s record run at the time.<\/p>\n

5) Gabriel Jesus (100:15) \u2013 Arsenal vs Manchester United, September 3, 2023<\/h2>\n

Arsenal fought back from a first-half deficit to beat arch-rivals Man Utd 3-1, only a fortnight before Villa\u2019s win over Palace, with Gabriel Jesus netting another late goal.<\/p>\n

There was nothing to separate the sides heading into second-half stoppage time before Arsenal\u2019s Declan Rice scored his first goal for the club in the 96th minute.<\/p>\n

Heavily linked with a summer exit, Jesus, who admitted he \u2018dreams\u2019 of returning to his boyhood club Palmeiras, finished Arsenal\u2019s lightning-fast breakaway, beating Andre Onana to put clear daylight between the sides.<\/p>\n

4) Cole Palmer (100:39) \u2013 Chelsea vs Manchester United, April 4, 2024<\/h2>\n

Despite often profiting from the stoppage time under Sir Alex Ferguson, Man Utd were on the receiving end of another bad beat in a seven-goal thriller at Stamford Bridge at the tail-end of the 2023\/24 campaign.<\/p>\n

Erik ten Hag\u2019s side overhauled a two-goal deficit to take a 3-2 lead ahead of the injury time, only to suffer another late heartbreak, as Cole Palmer turned the game on its head in just over 120 seconds.<\/p>\n

Palmer netted his second penalty of the match to restore parity in the 100th minute.<\/p>\n

It was supposed to salvage a point for Chelsea, yet the talismanic playmaker completed his hat-trick with the latest winning goal in Premier League history at the time.<\/p>\n

3) Harvey Barnes (101:48) \u2013 Newcastle United vs Leeds United, January<\/h2>\n

Newcastle United achieved the unthinkable in their home clash against bitter rivals Leeds United earlier this year, fighting back from a 3-2 deficit beyond the 90th minute to clinch a 4-3 victory.<\/p>\n

Bruno Guimaraes\u2019 91st-minute penalty sparked the comeback before Harvey Barnes sent St James\u2019 Park into raptures with a fortuitous half-volley, handing the Magpies a win in the 102nd minute.<\/p>\n

Clocked at 101 minutes and 48 seconds, Barnes\u2019 strike is the latest winning goal in the Premier League era.<\/p>\n

2) Dirk Kuyt (101:48) \u2013 Arsenal vs Liverpool, April 17, 2011<\/h2>\n

One of the most breathtaking Premier League meetings between Arsenal and Liverpool took place at the Emirates Stadium in April 2011.<\/p>\n

Legendary Dutch striker Robin van Persie broke the deadlock in the 98th minute to put the Gunners 1-0 up. Everyone thought it would be enough to seal all three points, but Dirk Kuyt had other plans.<\/p>\n

Jamie Carragher\u2019s nasty second-half injury forced the game deep into stoppage time, allowing Kuyt to score the second-latest goal in Premier League history and draw the Reds level.<\/p>\n

1) Oli McBurnie (102:07) \u2013 Sheffield United vs West Ham United, January 21, 2024<\/h2>\n

Sheffield United and West Ham United produced a thriller at Bramall Lane in January 2024, with an injury to goalkeeper Alphonse Areola causing a lengthy delay.<\/p>\n

Oli McBurnie stepped up and scored the latest goal in Premier League history, firing home the equaliser after 102 minutes and seven seconds.<\/p>\n

Chris Wilder\u2019s relegation-threatened side fought back from two deficits to earn a point in a heated contest, but it was insufficient to keep them in the top flight.<\/p>\n
