Below are nine of the most memorable recent last minute goals in the Premier League, with a sprinkling of classics as well.
1. Harry Kane vs. Liverpool (2018)
In the 87th minute, Harry Kane won a penalty which was subsequently saved by Loris Karius with the score at 1-1.
Four minutes later, Mohamed Salah scored what looked to be the winner, that is until Erik Lamela controversially went down in the area in the 93rd minute. It took the referee two minutes to bring the Liverpool protestations to an end, but an unruffled Kane made no mistake this time round to salvage a draw for the away side.
2. Nathan Aké vs. Liverpool (2016)
Nathan Aké inflicted Liverpool's second defeat of the season in dramatic fashion as the Reds threw away a 3-1 lead, with the defender completing the comeback with a 93rd minute tap in.
The win helped them to their highest ever league finish that season, as the Cherries finished in ninth place.
3. Fernando Llorente vs. Crystal Palace (2016)
Having been 3-1 ahead in the 68th minute, Swansea were rocked by a Palace comeback as Christian Benteke made it 4-3 in the 84th minute.
But in added time, Llorente scrambled home two late goals in the 91st and 93rd minutes to give Swansea a famous win in one of the games of the season.
4. Adam Lallana vs. Norwich City (2016)
Liverpool fans got their first taste of what life under the fervent Jurgen Klopp might be like, as Adam Lallana volleyed home in the 95th minute to give Liverpool a 5-4 win.
Having already thrown away a 4-3 lead, Klopp breathed a sigh of relief as what had already been a turbulent season showed no signs of settling down.
5. Junior Stanislas vs. Everton (2015)
Lukaku had appeared to rob all three points from Bournemouth when his 95th minute goal put them 3-2 up at Dean Court. However, Junior Stanislas popped up with his second of the game, nodding the ball home in the 98th minute to make it 3-3 - even though only five minutes had been added on by the referee.
This game preceded a run of three consecutive wins for the Cherries', including 1-0 and 2-1 victories over Chelsea and Man United respectively.
6. Nathan Dyer vs. Aston Villa (2015)
An unbeaten Leicester side found themselves 2-0 down at home to Aston Villa in the 63rd minute, before a heroic comeback from the future Premier League champions. After goals from Ritchie de Laet and Jamie Vardy, the Foxes' made it 3-2 in the 89th minute as Nathan Dyer took a blow to the head in the process of putting the ball past the Villa goalkeeper.
This toughness and ability to grind games out became trademarks of their title-winning season.

7. Sergio Aguero vs. QPR (2012)
No Premier League list would be complete without some mention of THAT title-winning goal scored by Sergio Aguero.
With the title seemingly heading back to the red side of the city, Aguero's emphatic last minute winner not only rocked the Etihad, but the entire country.
8. Michael Owen vs. Manchester City (2009)
In an unexpected return to top flight football, the eighth highest scoring Premier League player ever scored the winner in an epic Manchester derby, securing United's third consecutive derby win.
Even though only four minutes had been displayed on the fourth official's board after the 90 minutes had elapsed, Owen's effort hit the net closer to the 96th minute mark to give the Red Devils a famous 4-3 win.
9. Stan Collymore vs. Newcastle United (1996)
Stan Collymore all but ended Newcastle's title hopes in the 1995/96 season when he netted in the 92nd minute at Anfield against Kevin Keegan's side.
Newcastle, who were leading the game 3-2 at one stage, finished the season four points off of the pace set by eventual champions Manchester United and Stan Collymore will take some credit for that, having scored the goal that would compound the Magpies to a 4-3 defeat.
