No one loves late drama like Liverpool. What's behind their taste for theatrics?

Key Highlights

• It is a quirk that has inflicted both joy and misery on head coach Arne Slot's side this term as its title defense has veered alarmingly off course. Seven of Liverpool's 27 league games in 2025-26 have featured a winning goal after the 90th minute, the most by any side in a single season in the competition's history.
• Four of those goals have come against Slot's men, showing how much jeopardy lies in regularly playing out such close encounters -- particularly in a season where confidence has often been brittle and the absence of game-changing substitutes has been glaring."My emotions were emotions of happiness and relief," Slot said after Sunday's game.
• "Today we did not play a good game.
• The performance, especially in the first half, was not as we've had so many times this season.
• But we've been on the wrong side of the score after a good performance far too many times.
