There is nothing more joyous for a player and a team than to win a game with a last-gasp goal. Some teams have a habit for scoring late goals more than the others due to their never-say-die attitude. These are the clubs that will fight till the very last minute to get something out of the game. They never know when to stop and will always keep fighting till the final whistle is blown. They get the reward on most occasions by managing a late winner or in some case late equaliser.

However, it is challenging to consistently achieve it in a difficult league like the Premier League. The level of football is quite high in the English top flight, with a lot of money being invested in it. As a result of which the league is filled with quality players from top to bottom. Hence, there are no easy games in the division. A team has to work extremely work hard to get the maximum points against any side in the league. Despite the difficult nature of it, some clubs still manage to maintain the consistency, and one of the key reasons for that is their never-say-die approach. Let us look at the top three clubs that have scored the maximum number of last-minute winners in the Premier League.

Liverpool (41 last-minute winners)

It is not a surprise to see Liverpool get plenty of late winners. Jurgen Klopp’s side are always known to fight till the last kick of the ball. The Reds have made a habit of getting several late goals. In fact, this tradition was prevalent with Liverpool long before Klopp took over at Anfield. Under the current head coach, they have carried that momentum and are a team to fear especially when the game approaches the last few minutes of the match. With the crowd at Anfield getting on the back of the visiting team, the home side will add to that pressure by throwing bodies into the box, as they rush towards the goal. This approach has earned them 41 last-minute winners, according to Opta Analyst.

Arsenal (30 last-minute winners)

Arsenal have always been a team to watch in the Premier League, largely thanks to their legendary former manager Arsene Wenger. He has played an important role in establishing the club as the heavyweights in the league. Besides, he was instrumental in help improving the popularity of the club across the globe. Under his management, the Gunners not only played beautiful eye-catching football but also never gave up till the end. It was this approach that helped Arsenal get several late winners and equalisers. They have now maintained that standard under current manager Mikel Arteta, as they are starting to look like a real force once again.

Tottenham Hotspur (29 last-minute winners)

It is surprising to see Tottenham Hotspur in this list. Spurs have had their highs and lows in this competition. After a long struggle, they established their position among the top sides in the league for a good while. Then once again they are going through an indifferent form. However, there is one thing Tottenham always had in them, which is to fight till the last whistle of the game. They have quite often managed to get those late winners that has helped them get valuable points. Despite their struggles in recent seasons, Spurs have managed to fight till late in all competitions.
