Top Ten Last-Gasp Cup Goals
Over the fifty years of its history, the League Cup and especially this season’s Capital One Cup, has seen more than its fair share of last-minute drama – and since the turn of the 21st century, every season seems to have been littered with late, late winning goals. With the advent of the extra-time period to replace replays, we now have the opportunity for two separate periods of last-minute drama in the same game (see Reading v Arsenal this season) to keep fans of the League Cup entertained.
This list includes some of the most famous last-gasp goals in the League Cup’s recent history, as well as one or two game-winning blasts from the past. There’s everyone from Arsenal to Derby County and Luton Town represented, so whether you cheer the Goliath or the underdog, this list is for you…
