Jurgen Klopp overtakes Sir Alex Ferguson for most Premier League injury-time winners… but two managers sit higher | The Sun

JURGEN KLOPP now has more managerial injury-time winners in the Premier League than Sir Alex Ferguson – but he does not lead the way.

Sir Alex was famed for snatching last-gasp winners in what was dubbed "Fergie Time".

He won 16 games with goals coming in the 90th minute later – but Klopp now has one more.

It comes after Harvey Elliot's 91st minute winner at Crystal Palace, which put Liverpool top of the table.

Jose Mourinho, who managed at Chelsea, United and Tottenham, is fifth with 14 goals coming in added time.

But leading the way is Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger, who proves to be king of the comeback.

Liverpool came from behind with two goals in the final 15 minute to beat Palace, with super-sub Elliot nicking the winner.

Klopp said: “The subs were super influential and made a super impact.

“That’s actually the story of the season so far, what we bring from the bench.

From the last 14 minutes we deserved it, before then we deserved nothing. The bad thing about the amount of games we play is that it’s really tiring.

"The good thing is they all can play and they have to play, so we can make these kinds of moves like today.

"Because one is the player change and we changed the system. That helped as well. We tried everything and it worked out.”
