Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool have taken a record away from Sir Alex Ferguson's all-conquering Manchester United after Harvey Elliott sent the Reds to the top of the Premier League with a late winner at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Elliott came off the bench to score the decisive goal in the 91st minute as Liverpool came from behind to win 2–1 at Selhurst Park.
His goal was the 17th stoppage-time winner Liverpool have scored since Jurgen Klopp joined the club in 2015, moving one ahead of the 16 United have managed under Ferguson in the Premier League era.
United's ability to get results out of the bag with late goals led to injury time in their matches being labeled 'Fergie Time'.
But Liverpool have become the kings of stoppage time over the past eight years, with Klopp's men refusing to concede until the final whistle.

During their 31 years in the Premier League, Liverpool have scored 43 winners in the 90th minute or later – 11 more than nearest challengers Arsenal – and 40 percent of those goals have come since Klopp took charge.
They have already scored two stoppage-time winners this season, with Darwin Nunez completing a remarkable comeback for the Merseyside side with a 93rd-minute goal in a 2-1 win over Newcastle in August, before Elliott produced his own moment of magic this weekend.
Luis Diaz also gave Liverpool a late point as they looked destined for defeat at Luton last month.
