9 of the Most Dramatic Last Minute Headed Goals in Football History
Last minute headed goals are all the rage at the moment, but which ones have been the most important in recent years.
Here we take nine of the most dramatic headed goals that came right at the death...
9. Eric Dier
Germany 2-3 England, international friendly 2016
Yes it was an international friendly and yes it meant nothing as England crashed out of the subsequent Euros to Iceland in the last 16, but Eric Dier's winner in Berlin to hand the Three Lions a 3-2 victory in May 2016 was the sweetest goal for England fans to celebrate.
Having been two goals down to the World Cup holders, Roy Hodgson's side battled back with goals from Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy to draw level and just as the stadium announcer informed the crowd of an additional three minutes of stoppage time, the Tottenham Hotspur youngster powered a header past Manuel Neuer.
8. Andy Linighan
Arsenal 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday (aet), FA Cup Final replay 1993
The Gunners had already beaten Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup final earlier that year and they made it a double, when Andy Linighan rose highest in the 119th minute of the FA Cup final replay.
The back up defender was nursing a broken nose during the game after being struck by Owls striker Mark Bright, but he got his own back by out-jumping Bright to hand George Graham's their second domestic trophy of the season.
7. Stephane Mbia
Valencia 3-1 Sevilla, Europa League Semi Final 2nd Leg 2014
Valenica were just seconds away from knocking Europa League specialists and fellow La Liga side Sevilla out of the competition in the 2013/14 season, with Los Che leading 3-2 on aggregate as the final whistle approached.
Yet it was not to be as Stephane Mbia leaped to head the goal that his side needed to progress to the final, where they would eventually beat Benfica after a dramatic penalty shootout.
6. Paul Caddis
Bolton Wanderers 2-2 Birmingham City, Sky Bet Championship 2014
Birmingham City had a terrible 2013/14 campaign in the Championship and as the final day of the season approached, the Blues needed to win, but still had the fate of their destiny outside of their hands.
Yet, with Doncaster losing to champions Leicester City, the Midlands side needed just a point at Bolton Wanderers and had pulled a goal back with a minute to play. Enter Paul Caddis, who got on the end of Nikola Zigic's effort to head into the open net in the third minute of stoppage time and keep Birmingham up.
5. Branislav Ivanovic
Benfica 1-2 Chelsea, Europa League Final 2013
In what was deemed an unsuccessful season for the Blues, interim boss Rafa Benitez led the club to their first ever UEFA Cup/Europa League final, which looked like it was heading to extra time after both teams found the net.
However, Serbian defender Branislav Ivanovic sent the travelling Chelsea supporters into raptures when he connected with a Juan Mata corner to guide the ball into the top corner and win the cup with just half a minute remaining.
4. Peter Lovenkrands
Celtic 2-3 Rangers, Scottish Cup Final 2002
An Old Firm derby is always an occasion, but an Old Firm Cup final is an even bigger stage and to score a last minute winner for your side is simply dream, yet that is what Peter Lovenkrands did in 2002.
Having already got one with the scores tied at 2-2, the former Rangers front man met with Neil McCann's cross and headed the ball downwards, allowing it loop over Rab Douglas in the Celtic goal and secure a memorable cup victory.
3. Ben Watson
Manchester City 0-1 Wigan Athletic, FA Cup Final 2013
Wigan Athletic went into the 2013 FA Cup final as huge underdogs against the highly fancied Citizens and they rallied well to keep the score goalless, as the game entered the first of three second half injury time minutes.
The Latics did the impossible and midfielder Ben Watson wrote his name in the club's history books by heading home from the front post, looping the ball up and beyond a sprawling Joe Hart.
2. Didier Drogba
Bayern Munich 1-1 Chelsea (aet), Champions League Final 2012
The cup final man himself, Didier Drogba kept his side in the Champions League final with just a minute to spare, after Bayern Munich's Thomas Muller assumed he had won it in the 83rd minute in front of their home fans at the Allianz Arena.
If that wasn't enough the Ivorian went on to score the winning penalty for the Blues to secure a maiden Champions League trophy for the West London side.
1. Sergio Ramos
Real Madrid 4-1 Atletico Madrid (aet), Champions League Final 2014
The final scoreline was a bit generous on the eventual winners of the all Madrid Champions League final in 2014 and, in fact, Los Blancos were on the verge of missing out on a record 10th crown.
However, Sergio Ramos (who also has a last minute El Clasico equaliser to his name) sent the final to an additional 30 minutes with a powerful header to beat Courtois. Madrid went on to score three more goals in extra time to clinch La Decima.
