Adrian Clarke analyses how the increase of stoppage time has impacted managers' tactical approach and late goals this season.
Premier League supporters have enjoyed extra value for money this season.
Not only is the top-flight currently averaging 3.09 goals per game - a figure which means we are on course to smash the division’s previous high – but the ball has also been in play for a significantly longer amount of time too.
Thanks to new directives on timekeeping introduced last summer, leading to a rise in added time at the end of each half, the ball has been in play for an extra three minutes and 45 seconds per match compared to 2022/2023.
In isolation that may not seem hugely consequential, but over the course of a 380-match campaign that will lead to an extra 1,425 minutes of football where the ball is alive.
Using the Premier League’s latest ‘in play’ average of 58 minutes, 37 seconds that translates to the equivalent of an extra 24 full matches!
It will be a major surprise if last term’s goal record of 1,084 is not eclipsed by a wide margin.
More late drama
With injury time lengthening it is no surprise more goals have been scored in the dying embers of matches too, but the jump we have seen is still staggeringly high.
On the clock we have experienced a 38.4% increase in the average number of seconds played beyond 90 minutes, climbing from 507 to 702 since last season.
Yet the goals tally has witnessed an incredible 77.3% rise , jumping from 0.22 per game to 0.39.
Are players and managers displaying greater attacking ambition late on in matches, knowing they have extra time to grab themselves a goal?
Or is the additional mental and physical fatigue creating more mistakes at the back?
A combination of the two is likely to have caused this shift, and it has helped to produce some stirring climaxes to Premier League matches.
