Relive Klopp’s Historic Victories: 17 Stoppage-Time Premier League Winners
Jurgen Klopp has earned his reputation as one of the best managers in the Premier League, and his Liverpool side has become known for their never-say-die attitude. With 17 stoppage-time winners in the top-flight, Klopp has instilled a winning mentality at Anfield that has become the hallmark of his team.
While Sir Alex Ferguson was known for his team’s ability to score late goals during his tenure at Manchester United, Klopp has surpassed the legendary manager in this regard. In his 26 seasons at Old Trafford, Ferguson’s teams managed to score 16 winners after the 90th minute. In just six seasons at Liverpool, Klopp’s side has already achieved 17 such victories.
This season alone, Liverpool has scored three goals after the 90th minute, earning nine crucial points in their pursuit of the Premier League title. These late winners have been a testament to the team’s resilience and determination, as they refuse to give up until the final whistle.
Klopp’s philosophy is clear – a game is not over until it’s truly over. He once famously said, “We decide when it is over. Between 82 and 94 [minutes] you can make eight goals if you like.” This mindset has become ingrained in his players, who continue to fight until the very last second.
Liverpool’s ability to come back from seemingly impossible situations has been on display throughout Klopp’s tenure. From late winners against rivals like Everton, Newcastle, Tottenham, and Aston Villa, Klopp’s Liverpool has never failed to entertain. The question now is, will we see more of these dramatic moments before the end of the season?
