Late winners
« on: September 17, 2015, 10:51:38 AM »
Last weekend's match got me thinking..

We always seem to concede late to lose games but how often do we actually score late winners?

Apart from Ashley Young against Everton and Der Hammer against albion I'm struggling to think of any from the last 20 years or so!

There must have been others, can anyone refresh my memory?

Are there any that stick in your mind going further back?

Alan Thompson last minute winner at Hillsbrough in 2000 (?). Ugo scoring a late winner at home to Sheffield Wednesday to take us to the top of the Premier League - 1998? Solano at home to Blackburn....

I remember Shaun Maloney 07/08 getting one against Fulham at home, and even then thought it had been ages since we'd had one!

I seem to recall one at home to West Ham during 01/02 or 02/03 aswell.

Andi Weimann vs Fulham at home under McLeish probably kept us up too

Withe against the stipey's in 1981

I remember Andy Townsend scoring a last minute winner at Highbury, plus Dean Saunders in a 4-3 win at Spurs in the 90s.

Not quite the same thing, but I remember being in the Away end at The Valley when Claus Jensen missed a penalty in the last minute to give us a 2-1 win there, in 2004.

Brian Little, League Cup Final second replay, 1977. He scored the winner in the last minute of extra time.

1970 League Cup Quarter Final versus Bristol Rovers.  1-0 Pat McMahon way into added time IIRC.

The three I was going to mention have already been posted - and are all over a quarter of a century ago: Sir Brian to win the League Cup, Withey to put us two points closer to the League and Chrissie Price in SGT's almost season.  Sometimes we have done it it at the death when it matters!

Dwight Yorke against Derby County when he scored from a Mart Poom error.

Merson's lob against Everton. What a dire match that was.

Ah, the famous 'banned from doing the Sky fan thing ever again' match.
