Top 5 players who have scored the most late goals in Europe this season

#3 Mauro Icardi (Inter Milan) – 6 late goals

Mauro Icardi has scored 20 league goals this season

Inter haven’t had the best campaign in Serie A this season. The Italian giants have fallen a long way in the past few years but there was some hope when they had a decent squad. But four losses and two draws in the first 10 games saw them slip into the bottom half of the table. New manager Frank de Boer was soon sacked in November.

However, there was one positive from Inter’s bizarre season – Mauro Icardi. Despite a fractured relationship with the Inter ultras, the Argentine striker has managed to score goals at will. Tied for second with 20 league goals, the 24-year-old even signed a contract extension that saw a buy-out clause of €110m inserted.

But things were so bad at the club that they needed him to score a 91st-minute winner to defeat Pescara who are currently at the bottom of the table with just two wins. He had to save the day again to beat Torino 2-1 with an 88th-minute winner. He also scored two very late goals against Crotone (88th and 93^rd minute).
