FeatureEight PL stoppage-time winners by a substitute under Jürgen Klopp

Harvey Elliott’s 91st-minute strike to secure Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace was the 17th time a Reds goal on 90 or later has been the decider in a Premier League game under Klopp.

And Elliott’s brilliant 20-yard effort was the eighth of those occasions in which the goal was provided by a substitute.

Here, we take a look at each one…

Adam Lallana, Norwich City 4-5 Liverpool, January 2016

One of the most famous games, and one of the most famous celebrations, of the Klopp era.

Liverpool had looked to be heading for defeat at Carrow Road when falling 3-1 down early in the second half, but they came storming back to lead 4-3 heading into injury time.

Sebastien Bassong’s equaliser appeared to have denied them, only for Adam Lallana to crash a shot home in the 95th minute, with Klopp memorably losing his glasses in the melee that followed.

Christian Benteke, Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool, March 2016

There was late drama at Selhurst Park in 2016, too, as Liverpool’s 10 men took victory courtesy of Christian Benteke’s 96th-minute penalty.

The Reds fell behind to Joe Ledley’s strike in south London and then lost James Milner to a second yellow card.

But Roberto Firmino drew them level before Benteke was fouled by Damien Delaney, with the Belgian picking himself up to coolly beat Alex McCarthy from the spot.

Divock Origi, Liverpool 1-0 Everton, December 2018

One of the most iconic goals scored by a Liverpool player in recent years.

The 232nd Merseyside derby was on course for stalemate at Anfield until Jordan Pickford misjudged Virgil van Dijk’s looping volley onto the crossbar, allowing Divock Origi, who had only been introduced in the 84th minute, to head home in front of the Kop.

The clock showed 96 minutes.

Divock Origi, Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Liverpool, December 2021

Another Origi rescue job off the bench came at Molineux in December 2021.

The Belgian replaced Jordan Henderson midway through the second half as Liverpool chased a winner against Wolves, and as the clock reached 94 minutes he delivered.

Collecting a pass from Mohamed Salah, Origi swivelled and fired home under Jose Sa to secure three precious points.

Fabio Carvalho, Liverpool 2-1 Newcastle United, August 2022

The latest winning goal Liverpool have scored in the Premier League era came against Newcastle at Anfield last season.

Klopp’s side had trailed to Alexander Isak’s first-half strike, but levelled through Firmino after the break.

And then, in the eighth minute of added time, a scramble from a corner ended with Fabio Carvalho, on for Trent Alexander-Arnold, smashing an effort into the roof of the net to seal a dramatic comeback.

Diogo Jota, Liverpool 4-3 Tottenham Hotspur, April 2023

A wild game at Anfield and one of the most remarkable finishes seen in recent times.

Liverpool looked to be cruising when racing into a 3-0 lead inside 15 minutes, but Harry Kane and Son Heung-min fired back for Ryan Mason’s team either side of the interval.

And when Richarlison scrambled an equaliser in injury time, it seemed as if the Reds had thrown away two points.

There was still time, however, for Diogo Jota to capitalise on a Lucas Moura error and fire home an unerring winner at the Kop end, snatching back a memorable victory.

Darwin Nunez, Newcastle United 1-2 Liverpool, August 2023

Liverpool’s resilience was there for all to see earlier this season at St. James’ Park.

Trailing to Anthony Gordon’s first-half finish, they were reduced to 10 men when captain Van Dijk was shown a straight red card before half-time too.

But they rallied after the break, and the introduction of Nunez for Alexis Mac Allister, 13 minutes from time, proved decisive.

First, the Uruguayan drilled in an equaliser with nine minutes remaining and then, in the third minute of stoppage time, he latched on to Salah’s brilliant pass to fire past Nick Pope and secure a big away win for the Reds.

Harvey Elliott, Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool, December 2023

The most recent substitute stoppage-time winner came at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

Liverpool trailed to Palace when Jean-Philippe Mateta converted a penalty early in the second half, but after Jordan Ayew was sent off for the home side, Salah drew the Reds level with his 200th goal for the club.

Then, in the first of 10 added minutes, Elliott collected Salah’s pass, jinked inside Mateta and fired an unstoppable 20-yard shot past Remi Matthews in the Palace goal. His first strike of the season, and an important one at that.
