Top 10 Latest Winners In Premier League History

FootballBias looks at the Top 10 Latest Winners in Premier League History.

In the world of football, we often talk about “Fergie Time”, that mythical period of stoppage time where legends are made and hearts are broken. But yesterday at St. James’ Park, Harvey Barnes didn’t just play in stoppage time; he played in a different zip code.

By finding the net at 101 minutes and 48 seconds, Barnes secured a 4-3 victory for Newcastle United over Leeds United and etched his name into the record books. Since official Opta data began in the 2006/07 season, the Premier League has never seen a winning goal scored this late.

Before we dive into the list, it is important to clarify why Barnes is the record-holder. You may have heard of Oli McBurnie scoring for Sheffield United against West Ham in the 103rd minute (102:08) in 2024, or Dirk Kuyt scoring for Liverpool in the 102nd minute (101:48) back in 2011.

While those goals were technically scored at a similar or later time, they were equalizers. They earned a draw. Harvey Barnes’ strike is the latest ever to take a team from a stalemate to a victory, surpassing the previous record held by Cole Palmer by over a minute.

Here is the definitive countdown of the latest winners in the history of the competition.

10. Alexis Sánchez (Arsenal 2-1 Burnley)
Time: 97:14 | Date: January 2017 After Burnley equalized with a 93rd-minute penalty, the drama wasn’t over. Sánchez stepped up with a “Panenka” penalty even deeper into stoppage time to snatch all three points for the Gunners.

9. Alexis Mac Allister (Brighton 1-0 Man Utd)
Time: 98:17 | Date: May 2023 In a game dominated by goalkeeping heroics, a late Luke Shaw handball gave Mac Allister the chance from the spot. He remained ice-cold, blasting the ball into the top corner in the 99th minute.

8. Alex Iwobi (Everton 1-0 Newcastle)
Time: 98:20 | Date: March 2022 A massive goal in Everton’s fight against relegation. Despite a long delay due to a pitch protestor, Iwobi combined with Dominic Calvert-Lewin to send Goodison Park into a state of absolute delirium.

7. Darwin Núñez (Nottm Forest 0-1 Liverpool)
Time: 98:37 | Date: March 2024 A controversial but historic moment. After a drop-ball dispute, Alexis Mac Allister found Núñez, who flicked a header home in the 9th minute of added time to keep Liverpool’s title hopes alive at the time.

6. Oliver Norwood (Sheff Utd 2-1 Wolves)
Time: 99:17 | Date: November 2023 Sheffield United’s first win of that season came in the most dramatic fashion possible, as Norwood converted a penalty nearly ten minutes after the 90-minute mark.

5. Rio Ngumoha (Liverpool 3-2 Newcastle)
Time: 99:44 | Date: August 25, 2025 The youngest player on this list. Just months ago, the 16-year-old Ngumoha stunned St. James’ Park (the same ground where Barnes would later break the record) to score on his debut, marking the start of a new era of ultra-late drama.

4. Bruno Fernandes (Brighton 2-3 Man Utd)
Time: 99:45 | Date: September 2020 One of the most bizarre finishes in history. The referee had actually blown the final whistle, but a VAR review for handball awarded a penalty after the game “ended.” Fernandes converted it to win the match.

3. Dejan Kulusevski (Spurs 2-1 Sheff Utd)
Time: 99:53 | Date: September 2023 Spurs were trailing 1-0 in the 98th minute. Richarlison equalized, and then, in the 100th minute, Kulusevski fired home the winner to complete one of the fastest, and latest, turnarounds in history.

2. Cole Palmer (Chelsea 4-3 Man Utd)
Time: 100:41 | Date: April 4, 2024 The previous record-holder. In a chaotic 4-3 thriller, Palmer scored twice in stoppage time. His second, a deflected strike from a short corner, clocked in at 100:41, making it the first winning goal to ever cross the 100-minute threshold.

1. Harvey Barnes (Newcastle 4-3 Leeds)
Time: 101:48 | Date: January 7, 2026 The new benchmark. In a match where Newcastle trailed three separate times, Barnes struck twice, with his second coming in the 12th minute of stoppage time. It was a masterclass in persistence, ending a seven-goal thriller and resetting Premier League history.

It is no coincidence that the top five goals on this list have all occurred within the last few years. With the Premier League’s recent commitment to more accurately reflecting time lost for celebrations, substitutions, and VAR interventions, the “90-minute match” is becoming a thing of the past.
As Harvey Barnes proved yesterday, the final whistle is no longer a looming threat—it’s just a suggestion. We are officially living in the era of the 100-minute game, and the record books are being rewritten one late drama at a time.
