In 2016, another memorable moment unfolded when 18-year-old Marcus Rashford stunned Manchester City with a late strike, securing a crucial win for his team.
The trend continued in 2022 when Alejandro Garnacho, aged 18, netted a stoppage-time goal to secure a late 2-1 victory over Fulham.
Most recently, on Thursday night, Kobbie Mainoo, also 18 years old, snatched a superb late winner in the 97th minute to lead his side to a thrilling 4-3 victory over Wolverhampton United.
