Liverpool top the list…
Arsenal’s celebrate Laurent Koscielny controversial last minute goal against Burnley
There’s nothing like the anticipation during the final few minutes of a football match. Any manager, player and fan will know that the game is not over until the final whistle is blown.
Last weekend’s dramatic fixture between Burnley and Arsenal saw a Laurent Koscielny goal controversially go in via the captain’s elbow during stoppage time securing a 1-0 victory for the Gunners, meaning that Burnley undeservedly went home without a crucial point.
Inspired by Arsenal’s fortune, HITC takes a look at the five Premier League teams who have scored the most winning goals in injury time:
1. Liverpool – 28
Juergen Klopp’s side are top of the late winners league
If there is one team to be wary of when the clock strikes past the 90th minute then it is Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp’s side are top of the list – scoring an impressive 28 winning goals during the last few moments of the game.
2. Arsenal – 24
Danny Welbeck secured a late winner against Champions Leicester last season
There’s no surprise to find this weekend’s stoppage time winners in second. The Gunners are four goals behind Liverpool in second. One of Arsenal’s most iconic late winners last season came from Danny Welbeck – who scored a dramatic 95th minute goal against Champions Leicester in February.
3. Chelsea – 20
Another team to keep an eye on is Chelsea, Antonio Conte side have netted in a total of 20 goals during the club’s history in the Premier League.
4. Everton – 19
Liverpool’s Merseyside rivals come in at fourth. Everton are another team who are capable of causing a last minute upset.
5. Manchester United – 18
