A decade of our Premier League stoppage-time winners

From Sheffield United to Hull City, when it comes to stoppage-time winners in the Premier League we have had some memorable moments over the last decade.

So, with our record-breaking injury-time victory over the Blades still fresh in the memory, we take a look back at our winning moments in additional time in the past 10 years.

2023/24

Spurs 2-1 Sheffield United - 16 September, 2023

We start as we mean to go on as first up it's our historic outing against Sheffield United last time out. With 12 minutes of injury time added on, we trailed through Gustavo Hamer's strike on 74 minutes and were still behind right up to the 98th minute until substitute Richarlison rose highest to head in a corner to open his account for the season. Dejan Kulusevski then slammed home with 99 minutes and 53 seconds played to register both the latest ever winner and winning comeback in the league's history.

2022/23

Bournemouth 2-3 Spurs - 29 October, 2022

We staged an impressive second-half comeback from being two goals behind as Ryan Sessegnon, Ben Davies and lastly Rodrigo Bentancur helped us clinch victory on the south coast. The Cherries capitalised on our slow start with Wales international Kieffer Moore scoring in either half to put his side seemingly in control in the start of the second half. Our opening goal through Sess sparked a shift in momentum and we showed much more belief and hunger in our play, leading to Ben's equaliser midway through the second period as second-half substitute 'Lolo' reacted quickest late on to smash in a 92nd-minute winner.

Watford 0-1 Spurs - 1 January, 2022

New Year's Day 2022 saw Antonio Conte register his first stoppage-time winner since he took over two months prior to continue our unbeaten start under the Italian. It remained goalless after Heung-Min Son saw his shot well-saved by Daniel Bachmann and Hugo Lloris produced an equally impressive stop to deny Josh King in the second half, until Davinson Sanchez popped up with a 96th-minute header to give us a victorious start to the calendar year.

Leicester City 2-3 Spurs - 19 January, 2022

When it comes to late finales this one is right up there, too. Like London buses you wait a while for one to arrive and then two arrive in quick succession as we staged an incredible comeback one league game later thanks to heroics from super sub Steven Bergwijn. After Harry Kane had cancelled out Patson Daka's opener and James Maddison, now in our colours, had put the Foxes back in front with 14 minutes remaining, Leicester were moments away from victory until Bergwijn, introduced in the 79th minute, bagged a late brace in two injury-time minutes to steal all three points at the King Power.

Manchester City 2-3 Spurs - 19 February, 2022

There was an underlying narrative to this clash after the Citizens' failed in their pursuit of Harry Kane in the summer transfer window at the start of the campaign. And, fittingly, it was the Club's record goalscorer who delivered the knockout blow as his header in additional time sparked wild celebrations in the away end at the Etihad Stadium. Earlier, Dejan Kulusevski's fourth-minute strike had put us ahead before Ilkay Gundogan equalised midway through the first half. We regained the lead through Kane just before the hour mark and City thought they had saved a point when Riyad Mahrez converted from the spot after a VAR review in the 92nd minute, only for the England international to double his tally three minutes later in a frantic finish in Manchester.

Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-2 Spurs - 15 December, 2019

Jose Mourinho's side travelled to Molineux faced with the prospect of finding a way past Wolves who were unbeaten in 11 league matches going into this fixture. Lucas Moura's superb mazy run and finish gave us the perfect start eight minutes in but we were pegged back when Adama Traore slammed in a deserved equaliser midway through the second half. Looking for a hero to save us, who else but Jan Vertonghen arrived in the 91st minute to head in a corner - cue Super Jan celebration.

Aston Villa 2-3 Spurs - 16 February, 2020

Heung-Min Son scored in both first- and second-half stoppage time as we rallied late on to win at Villa Park under Jose Mourinho. We fell behind nine minutes in via Toby Alderweireld's own goal but the Belgian more than atoned for his error by equalising with a lovely shot on the turn that flew high into the net on 27 minutes. On the stroke of half-time, VAR intervened to award us a penalty after Steven Bergwijn was brought down by Bjorn Engels in the area, with Sonny poking in the rebound after his initial penalty was saved by Pepe Reina. Engels then drew his side level eight minutes after the restart before our number seven capitalised on the Belgian defender's error to run through and slot in the winner.

Spurs 1-0 Burnley - 15 December, 2018

Following Lucas Moura's late equaliser against Barcelona in the Nou Camp to send us through to the Champions League knockout rounds in the week, we left it late next time out as substitute Christian Eriksen scored the only goal of the game in the 91st minute to keep up our strong start to the season.

Fulham 1-2 Spurs - 20 January, 2019

Our 50th meeting with Fulham saw Harry Winks come to the rescue with a 93rd-minute winner at Craven Cottage. Without Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son in attack, Fernando Llorente was given his first league start of the season but unfortunately put us behind with an own goal in the first half. We responded well after the interval with Dele Alli's pin-point header drawing us level on 51 minutes before Winks stooped down to head in the stoppage-time winner from close range. Despite not registering another stoppage-time winner in the league that term, we saved our most memorable one for Europe as Lucas Moura was the late hat-trick hero with his 96th-minute winner against Ajax to see us through to the Champions League final.

Spurs 3-2 West Ham - 16 November, 2016

We continued our unbeaten start to the 2016/17 campaign amid high drama as Harry Kane netted a brace at the death in a pulsating encounter at White Hart Lane. The visitors twice led through Michail Antonio and Manuel Lanzini after Harry Winks had equalised just after the break, but a late show from Kane turned the contest on its head by first turning in Heung-Min Son's cross on 89 minutes before converting from the spot two minutes later.

Swansea City 1-3 Spurs - 5 April, 2017

As far as late comebacks go, this one is right up there as we scored three times from the 88th minute onwards to stage a remarkable turnaround at Swansea. Our former winger Wayne Routledge put the hosts in front on 11 minutes as the stubborn Swans defended diligently to protect their lead despite us dominating for long spells in the second half. Dele Alli finally found the breakthrough with two minutes remaining before Heung-Min Son and Christian Eriksen scored in added time to complete the comeback in Wales.

West Ham United 0-1 Spurs - 16 August, 2014

In Mauricio Pochettino's first season at the helm, our first win under the Argentine came in dramatic circumstances in the season opener against London rivals West Ham at Upton Park. Both sides finished the match with 10 men, first Kyle Naughton was sent off in the first half for a handball inside the box as Mark Noble missed the target from the resultant spot-kick before James Collins was given his marching orders for a second bookable offence on 63 minutes. With the score locked goalless three minutes into stoppage time, up stepped debutant Eric Dier to fire home the winner to open his account for the Club and give Pochettino the perfect start to his tenure.

Aston Villa 1-2 Spurs - 2 November, 2014

With six minutes of regulation time remaining at Villa Park, time was running out against 10-man Villa who led through Andreas Weimann's 16th-minute strike despite having Christian Benteke sent off for a shove on Ryan Mason in the second half. But Nacer Chadli's finish from a corner gave us hope in the closing stages before substitute Harry Kane earned all three points with a last-gasp deflected free-kick.

Hull City 1-2 Spurs - 23 November, 2014

We travelled to Hull City looking for a much-needed boost after a patchy start to the campaign and it came in the form of another last-minute winner in November. Trailing 1-0 to Jake Livermore's early strike, momentum shifted five minutes after half-time when Tigers midfielder Gaston Ramirez was sent off for an incident involving Jan Vertonghen before Harry Kane levelled just after the hour mark. As the clock ticked over into stoppage time, we left it late to make our numerical advantage count when Christian Eriksen fired in the winner from 20 yards to mark his 50th appearance in our colours in style to see us climb into the top 10.
