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