Brentford's 1-0 advantage evaporated as Fulham scored twice in stoppage time, underlining a growing trend of late goals in Premier League matches.
The rise of stoppage time goals can be attributed to stricter time management by referees, leading to more added time and consequently, more scoring opportunities.
Teams are now frequently turning around games in the dying minutes, with a notable increase in such comebacks during the early part of the 2023-24 season.
This increase in stoppage time goals reflects a broader trend across global football, driven by efforts to reduce time-wasting and ensure the ball remains in play.
