Let’s take a look at some of the greatest late goals in Premier League history that have settled the score.

10 Outrageous, Late, Result Settling Premier League Goals Through History That You Need to See

10. Bruno Fernandes vs Brighton (2020)

This was arguably the most controversial goal in Premier League history as the match had officially ended before a VAR decision awarded a Manchester United penalty following a handball from Neal Maupay. Bruno Fernandes stepped up and scored the penalty under immense pressure and stole three points from the Amex.

9. Divock Origi vs Everton (2018)

The Merseyside Derby looked to be ending goalless before Divock Origi netted from close range to break Everton hearts and give the home side the pride of the city. It was a calamity from Jordan Pickford as he decided against letting the ball land on top of the goal and kept it in play to only drop it at the feet of Origi.

8. Alisson vs West Brom (2021)

To score a last minute winner is rare enough but as a goalkeeper it is completely unfathomable. However, Alisson exceeded expectations when he leaped from a corner to head home and win three important points for the Reds in their quest for Champions League qualification.

7. Federico Macheda vs Aston Villa (2009)

Manchester United were on the hunt for their third Premier League title and they came into this game one point behind leaders Liverpool. They found themselves 2-1 down in the game when Sir Alex Ferguson trusted 17-year-old Federico Macheda to come onto the pitch. He certainly didn’t let him down as he went on to score the winner curling an effort into the corner of the net with seconds remaining to claim all three points.

6. Robin Van Persie vs Manchester City (2012)

The Manchester Derby is one of the biggest derbies in English football and both sides were involved in the title race this season. However, it was Robin Van Persie who stepped up in the dying moments to take earn bragging rights across the city.

5. Stan Collymore vs Newcastle (1996)

Newcastle were in an intense title race with Manchester United in 1996 and every game was massive if they were to lift the trophy in May. However, this game dented their efforts massively as Stan Collymore lashed an effort past the goalkeeper at the near post which made Anfield erupt.

4. Reiss Nelson vs Bournemouth (2023)

It is common knowledge that for a few seasons Arsenal were very close to getting their hands on a long awaited Premier League trophy and deemed to be ‘bottle jobs’. This was an occasion where they didn’t bottle it as Reiss Nelson scored a 97th minute winner to send the home fans into jubilation and keep the title race alive.

3. Steven Bergwijn vs Leicester City (2022)

This wasn’t just one late goal, but two! Leicester found themselves 2-1 up in the 95th minute of action but somehow fell apart and lost the game. Steven Bergwijn came off the bench to score two goals in injury time and flip the tie completely upside down and cause heartbreak for the Foxes.

2. Michael Owen vs Manchester City (2009)

This was without a doubt one of the greatest Manchester derbies of all time and for Manchester United fans it got all the more better in the dying embers. Michael Owen had been played through and slipped the ball past Shay Given to score his greatest goal for the club in a very important moment.

1. Sergio Aguero vs Queens Park Rangers (2012)

This goal is without a doubt the most famous goal in Premier League history which is largely down to the fantastic piece of commentary from Martin Tyler. Manchester United thought that they had won the league as their final day game finished before this one and Manchester City were 1-0 down late on. However, following an equaliser from Edin Dzeko in the 92nd minute, Sergio Aguero scored a winner in the 94th minute to secure Manchester City their first ever Premier League title.
