What is 90 Minute Payout?

Last week, Betfair launched a new match odds market to change the game - 90 Minute Payout.

The market is a pre-match selection on match odds across all football, but is also included in multiples, accas and Bet Builders.

If you back a team to win and they lead as the clock ticks to 90:00, your bet will be settled as a winner, regardless of what happens in stoppage time!

No more injury time heartbreak for Bettors

Due to the launch of Betfair's new product, we've decided to deep-dive into some data on injury time goals in the Premier League, knowing full well that next season, punters will be able to celebrate early and put their feet up, no matter how much time is added on!

The men's FIFA World Cup last year showed us a real dedicated change to allowing more stoppage-time, and the current Women's World Cup is doing the same - averaging 07:40 minutes of stoppage time so far - well above last season's Premier League seond half average of 05:32.

The Premier League chose not to adopt this policy for the second half of last season, but rumours suggest they, and the other leagues around the world, may well do so in 2023-24.

More injury time allows for more chance of your match odds bet to be ruined by late drama - though not with Betfair's 90 minute payout!

All data is supplied by Opta.

How much stoppage time did each side average?

As mentioned the second half average of stoppage time in the Premier League last season was - courtesy of Opta - 05:32.

So exactly how much were each of the 20 teams awareded across their 38 games last season, and how many goals did each score?

Team	Stoppage Time	Stop. time Goals
Arsenal	05:50	3
Aston Villa	05:24	1
Bournemouth	05:18	2
Brentford	05:59	5
Brighton	06:00	5
Chelsea	05:44	0
Crystal Palace	05:15	3
Everton	05:32	3
Fulham	05:56	1
Leeds United	05:40	2
Leicester City	04:56	0
Liverpool	05:13	2
Man City	04:55	2
Man Utd	05:00	4
Newcastle Utd	05:34	3
Nott'm Forest	06:00	2
Southampton	05:50	2
Spurs	05:40	4
West Ham	05:05	3
Wolves	05:43	2

Brentford and Brighton (both 5) netted the most stoppage time goals last season, one ahead of Erik ten Hag's Manchester United.

Leciester and Chelsea were the only two sides in the PL last season yet to net a single goal in second half injury time. Interestingly, the Foxes (04:56) had the second lowest average of injury time in their matches.

How many PL goals are scored in stoppage time?

Last season in the Premier League, 49 goals were scored after the clock hit 90:00; it was the lowest total since 2017-18. Last season, for comparison, there was 72!

The Premier League average for stoppage time goals stands at just over 55, therefore we can expect this upcoming campaign to provide much more, and in turn, increase the chances of injury time goals affecting your bets - well, not with 90 Minute Payout they won't!

Here is the list since 2006-07 (when Opta have exact stoppage time goals) in the Premier League.

Season	Stoppage Time Goals
2006-07	46
2007-08	64
2008-09	55
2009-10	68
2010-11	59
2011-12	58
2012-13	46
2013-14	52
2014-15	43
2015-16	49
2016-17	68
2017-18	49
2018-19	72
2019-20	51
2020-21	50
2021-22	72
2022-23	49

30 of those 49 goals last season (61%) changed the scoreline, and therefore will have scuppered plenty of punters bets!

Who has netted the most goals in injury time?

These players will have all made a name for themselves in many ways, but fans up and down the country in England will probably remember one of their injury time goals.

Whether it was a dramatic winner, equaliser, or even just a mere consolation, these players have scored the most number of Premier League goals after the 90:00 minute mark. (since 2006-07).

Next season with Betfair, these goals may not mean as much to bettors, as they will be celebrating early with the match result market as the clock hits 90:00. However, let us not forget the memories these players provided in the Premier League!

And if he stays, maybe Harry Kane will take another Premier League record - although he is currently 4/71.57 to join Bayern Munich before the window shuts.

Player	Stoppage time goals
Jermain Defoe	9
Harry Kane	8
Ross Barkley	8
Jamie Vardy	8
Sadio Mané	8
Frank Lampard	7
Robin van Persie	7
Emmanuel Adebayor	7
Alexis Sánchez	7
Christian Benteke	7
Darren Bent	6
Fernando Torres	6
Aaron Lennon	6
Danny Welbeck	6
Romelu Lukaku	6

Marcus Rashford	6

Speaking of Harry Kane, he broke the Premier League record last season for the most headed goals in a single season (10), and has been priced up at 11/112.00 to do so again. He's also 10/111.91 to score 25+.
