Late, later, Liverpool: 97th‑minute Mac Allister strike extends Reds’ unrivalled Premier League record | OneFootball

Liverpool left it late during the club's 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Alexis Mac Allister's 97th-minute goal earned the Reds three vital points at the City Ground, as thePremier League champions battle for Champions League qualification.

Just as the game appeared to be heading towards a frustrating goalless draw, Mac Allister slammed in from close range after Forest goalkeeper Stefan Ortega had failed to deal with Virgil van Dijk's downward header.

Timed at 96 minutes and 10 seconds, the goal was Liverpool's fourth-latest winner on record in thePremier League era.

Late goals have followed Arne Slot's side this season. Games involving Liverpool have seen seven winning goals scored in the 90th minute (or later) during the 2025-26 season (3 for, 4 against). According to data fromOpta, that is the most ever by any side in a single campaign in the competition.
