"No other team across Europe's top five leagues has mustered a run of late winners to match Liverpool's current four-game domestic streak in at least the last 15 years, and Wednesday's 3-2 climatic triumph against Atleti also marked the first time since at least 2012-13 that any top European side have won five back-to-back games across all competitions with winning goals in the 80th minute of later before the start of October."
"Slot's men are already closing in on the all-time Premier League record for most late winning goals in a season, which stands at seven and is jointly held by Manchester United (2023-24), Tottenham Hotspur (2014-15 and 2002-03), Arsenal (2011-12) and Liverpool themselves (2008-09). The out-and-out European league record is slightly further away with Barcelona drumming up an impressive nine late winners in LaLiga during the 2023-24, just one more than Real"
Liverpool have recorded five consecutive victories from the start of the 2025-26 campaign with late goals, four scored after the 90th minute. Four Premier League fixtures this season were won with goals after the 80th minute, a first in Premier League history. The Champions League win over Atlético Madrid extended the run to five across all competitions. Social media users have labeled the phenomenon "Slot time" as the team snatches results near full-time. No other top-five European league team has matched a four-game domestic late-winner streak in 15 years. Liverpool are approaching the Premier League seasonal record of seven late winners; the European single-season record stands at nine by Barcelona in 2023-24.
