Liverpool moved top of the Premier League table for the first time since September 2021 following the latest set of weekend results. The combination of Arsenal\u2019s defeat to in-form Aston Villa and Harvey Elliott\u2019s stoppage time winner against 10-man Crystal Palace made it happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Reds had gone behind against Palace at Selhurst Park, with the hosts taking a lead from the penalty spot through Jean Philippe Mateta early in the second half.<\/p>\n

Then came\u00a0Mohamed Salah\u2019s landmark 200th Liverpool goal\u00a0to draw Klopp\u2019s team level, before Elliott went on to win it after the initial 90 minutes had already elapsed. Salah later remarked that this season\u2019s squad is\u00a0giving him deja vu of the 2019\/20 title-winning side.<\/p>\n

Elliott\u2019s goal not only proved decisive in securing the victory on the day, it was also significant in the wider picture for his manager. This was the 17th time that Klopp\u2019s\u00a0Liverpool\u00a0have won a Premier League game in the 90th minute or later since the German was appointed in October 2015.<\/p>\n

Sir Alex Ferguson\u2019s Manchester United has a reputation for always fighting for wins right until the final whistle \u2013 even leading to \u2018Fergie time\u2019 becoming a well-used phrase. But during his 21 Premier League seasons at Old Trafford (his tenure at the club began several years before the modern era), Ferguson surprisingly only saw his\u00a0United\u00a0teams win in the 90th minute or later on 16 occasions.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Elliott in south London, that is one fewer than Klopp\u2019s team over eight years.<\/p>\n

Klopp still has a little way to go to reach the top of the overall leaderboard for late wins though.<\/p>\n

David Moyes, now of West Ham but formerly of Everton, Manchester United and Sunderland, is three further ahead with 20 wins decided in or after the 90th minute. One higher than him is Arsene Wenger on 21 such victories achieved during 22 years in charge of Arsenal.<\/p>\n
