Cole Palmer, Kulusevski, Fernandes… and now Barnes: Newcastle star sets new mark with late clincher

Harvey Barnes wrote himself into the record books this week after scoring the latest winning goal in Premier League history.

Barnes fired home in the 12th minute of added-on time at St James' Park as Newcastle edged Leeds United 4-3 in an instant classic.

The Magpies fell behind three times in the game, but fought back valiantly before Barnes snatched the points in the final seconds.

The 28-year-old's goal was timed at 101 minutes and 48 seconds, following a lengthy period of stoppage time.

It makes it the latest winner ever scored in the Premier League.

5. Rio Ngumoha - 99 minutes, 44 seconds (Newcastle 2-3 Liverpool, 25/08/2025)

St James' Park has seen two of the five latest Premier League winners scored this season.

Newcastle were on the wrong end of the drama back in August, as Liverpool snatched three points in the North East.

After 10-man Newcastle had fought back from two goals down to level against the champions, Ngumoha came off the bench to break the home side's hearts. The 16-year-old opened his Premier League account with an unforgettable last-gasp goal.

4. Bruno Fernandes - 99 minutes, 45 seconds (Brighton 2-3 Manchester United, 26/09/20)

Bruno Fernandes decided a hectic game against Brighton in September 2020, with the Manchester United midfielder converting a penalty with the final kick of the game.

An incident-packed clash at the Amex Stadium ended in real drama, with Manchester United's 100th-minute penalty awarded following the full-time whistle.

VAR awarded a penalty after Neal Maupay's handball in the box, despite on-field referee Chris Kavanagh blowing for full-time. Fernandes made no mistake to conclude one of the most bizarre finishes to a fixture in Premier League history.

3. Dejan Kulusevski - 99 minutes, 53 seconds (Tottenham 2-1 Sheffield United, 16/09/2023)

Tottenham scored twice in stoppage time to turnaround their clash with Sheffield United in 2023. Gustavo Hamer's goal had threatened an upset for the Blades, only for Spurs to strike twice after the 98th minute.

Richarlison headed the North Londoners level, before Dejan Kulusevski converted moments later for the winner.

2. Cole Palmer - 100 minutes, 41 seconds (Chelsea 4-3 Manchester United, 04/04/2024)

In a debut season at Chelsea littered in memorable moments, Cole Palmer's performance at Manchester United stood out.

Palmer scored a stunning hat-trick as Chelsea won a seven-goal thriller at Stamford Bridge, including a 98th-minute equaliser and 101st-minute winner.

Cool Cold, under pressure.

1. Harvey Barnes - 101 minutes, 48 seconds (Newcastle 4-3 Leeds, 07/01/2026)

Harvey Barnes broke the record for the latest-ever winner in the Premier League. The winger's smart swivel and finish saw Newcastle claim the points against Leeds after end-to-end action at St James'.

Barnes' brilliant moment concluded one of the games of the season, sparking wild celebrations among the home crowd.

Though the latest winning goal, Barnes ranks only third among latest-ever goals. That record belongs to Oli McBurnie, who scored a 103rd-minute equaliser for Sheffield United against West Ham in 2023.
