Stats showed that on average, the ball was only in play for 55 minutes in games last season, and that led the Premier League to take action this term.
The new initiative – which involves referees timing interruptions before restarts after a goal, substitutions, injuries and set pieces – has seen stoppage times increase dramatically throughout the leagues, with some matches even entering the 100th minute and beyond.
Football FanCast has decided to look at this year's latest goals by listing every Premier League strike scored in or after the 95th minute this season.

35 Pedro Neto v Manchester United – 90+5 mins 1st February 2024: Wolves 3-4 Manchester United
Wolves thought they had snatched themselves a point at Molineux in what has proven to be one of the games of the season with Pedro Neto's late strike.
The Portuguese winger levelled the scoring after the Red Devils had seemingly wrapped up the game early on in the first half.
Neto continues to impress for Wolves having remained at Molineux following the conclusion of the January transfer window. But if this form continues, surely his time will come in the summer to move on to bigger and better things.
34 Edson Alvarez v Everton – 90+5 mins 2nd March 2024: Everton 1-3 West Ham United
Everton found themselves pushing for a late equaliser against West Ham at Goodison Park, but Edson Alvarez raced up the field to put the finishing touches on an impressive performance from the Hammers.
That's two really consistent performances now by Alvarez as he continues to make the defensive midfield position his own.
33 Lewis Dunk v Everton – 90+5 mins 24th February 2024: Brighton 1-1 Everton
It was a game in which Brighton dominated proceedings with 23 shots to Everton's six, but the Seagulls just couldn't find the target, and ended up paying for their lack of composure in the final third, as Jarrad Branthwaite made them pay.
Lewis Dunk left it late to snatch an equaliser against an Everton side who were desperate to pick up three points, as he headed the ball past a helpless Jordan Pickford.
The Englishman has taken his tally to four goals in all competitions, with three coming in the Premier League this season.
32 Cole Palmer v Manchester City – 90+5 mins 12th November 2023: Chelsea 4-4 Manchester City
Chelsea struck late to earn a dramatic point against the reigning Premier League champions in one of the most entertaining games this season.
Rúben Dias hauled down Armando Broja in the box, resulting in a penalty kick, which former City winger Cole Palmer cooly converted in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
Palmer has impressed in West London since his £42.5m move in the summer and was awarded a first senior call-up to the England squad this month.
His 95th-minute penalty was his fourth league goal of the season.
31 Gabriel Martinelli v Crystal Palace – 90+5 mins 20th January 2024: Arsenal 5-0 Crystal Palace
After a difficult run of four games without a win, the Gunners put three points firmly on the board with an emphatic win over their fellow Londoners, Crystal Palace.
And it was a return to the scoresheet for Gabriel Martinelli who has had his own issues for Arsenal this season as he struggles to match the standards he set for himself last season.
Arsenal's title push has certainly taken a hit over the last few weeks, but the win against the Eagles kept them within arms length of the leaders Liverpool.
30 Luis Díaz v Luton Town – 90+5 mins 5th November 2023: Luton Town 1-1 Liverpool
Luton opened the scoring in the 80th minute of their clash with Liverpool after former Manchester United winger Tahith Chong completed a wonderfully worked counterattack with a sliding finish.
The Hatters seemed to be moments away from a monumental result in their history as fans geared up to celebrate a joyous victory against England's most trophy-laden club.
But Luis Díaz's 95th-minute leveller denied those celebrations, though most football fans would've been happy to see the Colombian on the scoresheet with the current circumstances surrounding his father.
A point for the visitors moved them above Arsenal into third whilst the hosts lifted themselves out of the drop zone.
29 Evan Ferguson v Luton Town – 90+5 mins 12th August 2023: Brighton and Hove Albion 4-1 Luton Town
Luton's first match back in the top flight after a 31-year absence ended in a heavy defeat to the high-flying Seagulls.
Solly March opened the scoring in the 36th minute before João Pedro and Simon Adingra added a second and third to seal the three points.
Though Albion weren't finished there, as Evan Ferguson netted a fourth goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time. The Republic of Ireland international turned in Pervis Estupiñán's cross to open up his Premier League account for the season.
It capped off a wonderful performance from Roberto De Zerbi's men, who will be eager to better last year's sixth-placed finish.
28 Lucas Paqueta v Chelsea – 90+5 mins 20th August 2023: West Ham United 3-1 Chelsea
Matchweek 2 saw another late stoppage-time goal as Lucas Paqueta scored West Ham's third in the fifth minute of added time.
The Brazilian netted a coolly-taken penalty to secure the victory against London rivals Chelsea as his side rose to sixth in the league table, whilst the Blues sunk to 15th without a win in their opening two games.
The fourth official indicated a minimum of six added minutes in this fixture.
27 Erling Haaland v Fulham – 90+5 mins 2nd September 2023: Manchester City 5-1 Fulham
The treble-winners demolished the travelling Cottagers before the international break, and yet again, another goal was scored in the fifth minute of stoppage time. It's almost becoming the norm!
The new initiative will be the catalyst for plenty of stoppage-time goals this term, and quite remarkably, a goal in the 95th minute may not be the last kick of the game nowadays as it has been in previous years.
This instance saw Erling Haaland score a very late goal to complete his second-half hat-trick and send his team back to the summit of the table, two points clear of their closest challengers.
26 Michael Olise v Manchester City – 90+5 mins 16th December 2023: Manchester City 2-2 Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace pulled off an almighty comeback against the defending champions at the weekend, as they came from 2-0 down to level the tie at 2-2.
Jean-Philippe Mateta won a penalty in the dying embers of the game, which was slotted away calmly by Michael Olise after a rather nervy VAR check.
The Eagles currently sit in 15th position on 17 points, which seems them now eight points above the drop zone.
