Where does Cole Palmer’s dramatic strike that beat Manchester United rank in the 32 seasons of the competition?
But surprisingly, Palmer’s goal on 101 minutes and 41 seconds does not top the list of latest goals for those recorded from 2006/07. It sits in second place.
In fact his equaliser scored 82 seconds before in the same match also ranks ninth for the latest goals on record in the Premier League.

The extra additional time being given to matches this season as a way of combating time-wasting has given more opportunity for late goals to be scored but it is remarkable that seven of the top 10 latest goals in the Premier League have come this season.
While his strike to make it 4-3 only comes third in the rankings for the latest goals, Cole’s effort on 101 minutes and 41 seconds did set a Premier League record in that it was the latest winning goal to be scored. It overtook by 48 seconds Dejan Kulusevski’s goal for Tottenham Hotspur on 99 minutes and 53 seconds that sealed the turnaround at home to Sheffield United on 16 September earlier this season.

The two goals later than Palmer’s strike last night, Dirk Kuyt’s penalty at Arsenal in April 2011 and Oliver McBurnie’s spot-kick at home to West Ham United each time earned a draw for their sides.
