Football5 Injury Time Goals Scored for Premier League Clubs After Trossard in Community Shield
- Leandro Trossard scored an injury-time equaliser to force the Community Shield to penalties
- Arsenal beat Premier League champions Manchester City 4-1 on penalties
- English clubs have always been involved in iconic games influenced by late winners
Leandro Trossard was Arsenal's hero in their Community Shield triumph over Manchester City at Wembley on Sunday after he scored an injury-time equaliser to force the game into penalties.
Youngster, Cole Palmer had put City ahead earlier with a clean strike. Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri missed their spot kicks in the shootout, and the Gunners won their first trophy of the season.
Sports Brief looks at five games involving Premier League clubs in which an injury-time goal influenced the outcome, as analysed by Daily Star.
1. Sergio Aguero vs. QPR
Sergio Aguero's 93rd minute and 20 seconds goal against Queens Park Rangers to win Manchester City's first Premier League title is probably the greatest injury-time goal. It won the game 3-2 and began an era of dominance by City that was capped off by a historic treble last season.
2. Solskjaer vs. Bayern Munich
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had a reputation as a super sub throughout his playing career and scored many iconic goals, but none beats the 1999 UEFA Champions League winner against Bayern Munich at Camp Nou. It won Sir Alex Ferguson his first UCL trophy.
3. Alisson Becker vs. West Brom
Alisson Becker provided a moment of sheer brilliance for Liverpool after heading home a corner against West Brom to secure Champions League football for his team for the 2021/22 season. The Brazilian joined the opponent's box for the final opportunity to win it, and he did. It was voted the goal of the season by Reds fans.
4. Lucas Moura vs. Ajax
The Brazilian attacker was on hand for one of Tottenham's greatest nights in history. Under Mauricio Pochettino, Spurs needed three goals to reach the Champions League final in 2019, and Moura stepped up with a hat-trick, including a left-footed strike that beat Andre Onana to make it 3-2.

Ben Watson popped up with a 92nd-minute winner against Manchester City.
