Some attention-grabbing stats revealed by Sky Sports activities.
The broadcaster that includes these Premier League groups who carry on going, because the matches enter the later levels.
The Sky Sports activities stat function sparked by Arsenal scoring on 90+1 and 90+6 minutes, to beat Man U 3-1 on Sunday.
Sky Sports activities then producing the stats on which Premier League golf equipment have scored essentially the most objectives on 90 minutes and after, since Mikel Arteta grew to become Arsenal supervisor on 20 December 2019.
Premier League 90+ minute objectives since Mikel Arteta took over at Arsenal:
20 Manchester Metropolis
20 Manchester United
18 Newcastle United
18 Brighton
17 Arsenal
16 Liverpool
Fascinating to see Newcastle United so excessive, I assumed the likes of Man Metropolis, Man U and Liverpool would have scored much more late on, judging by how typically they’re given a great deal of added time after they want it…
One factor for positive although, you’ll think about it’s assured that this season we’re sure to see much more late objectives, resulting from the truth that Premier League referees at the moment are including much more time on on the finish of matches.
I had a glance again at when these 18 late Newcastle United objectives had been scored within the Premier League:
2 September 2023 – Brighton 3 Newcastle 1 (Wilson 90+3)
12 August 2023 – Newcastle 5 Villa 1 (Barnes 90+1)
18 Might 2023 – Newcastle 4 Brighton 1 (Bruno 90+1)
5 April 2023 – West Ham 1 Newcastle 5 (90)
17 March 2023 – Forest 1 Newcastle 2 (Isak 90 +3)
6 November 2022 – Southampton 1 Newcastle 4 (Bruno 90+1)
8 October 2022 – Newcastle 5 Brentford 1 (Pinnock 90 personal objective)
28 August 2022 – Wolves 1 Newcastle 1 (ASM 90)
17 April 2022 – Newcastle 2 Leicester 1 (Bruno 90+5)
28 August 2021 – Newcastle 2 Southampton 2 (ASM 90)
24 April 2021 – Liverpool 1 Newcastle 1 (Willock 90+5)
12 March 2021 – Newcastle 1 Villa 1 (Lascelles 90+4)
30 January 2021 – Everton 0 Newcastle 2 (Wilson 90+3)
27 September 2020 – Spurs 1 Newcastle 1 (Wilson 90+7)
21 January 2020 – Everton 2 Newcastle 2 (Lejeune 90+5)
21 January 2020 – Everton 2 Newcastle 2 (Lejeune 90+4)
18 January 2020 – Newcastle 1 Chelsea 0 (Hayden 90+4)
I might solely discover 17 objectives on this time interval that Newcastle United had scored on 90 minutes or later within the Premier League.
Anyone spot the one I missed.
Except on the database I used to be utilizing to go looking, one in every of these 5 objectives was wrongly listed as 89 minutes and may have been 90?
18 Might 2023 – Newcastle 4 Brighton 1 (Wilson 89)
15 January 2023 – Newcastle 1 Fulham 0 (Isak 89)
17 October 2021 – Newcastle 2 Tottenham 3 (Dier personal objective 90)
27 November 2020 – Crystal Palace 0 Newcastle 2 (Joelinton 89)
25 October 2020 – Wolves 1 Newcastle 1 (Murphy 89)
There may be nothing fairly like when your group scores very late on to alter a consequence positively.
While in fact it hurts to the identical extent when the opposition do it.
I used to be laughing when trying again at these stats, reminded simply how fortunate the clueless Steve Bruce was at occasions.
Have a look at what occurred in January 2020. Newcastle had been surprising and didn’t have a single effort on objective, then on 94 minutes Hayden obtained that winner in opposition to Chelsea.
Then solely three days later we noticed perhaps one of many worst ever Newcastle performances in opposition to a really common Everton facet, but Lejeune scored these two late late objectives inside seconds of one another and hilariously Brucey fluked a degree.
