It was on a website the other day about his penalty record..I hadn’t realised that stat to be honest. I recall the one in the first couple of mins by Jesus in Rashford and the joke/sympathy pen in the 6-3. Can’t recall any others.
I knew he had given a few but apart from the two you mentioned I was stumped with the third one..will have to try and find it if I can.. yesterday's was nailed on though
Edited it... apparently Bernie on Rashford..we lost 2-1 2019
Charity shield in August (Bernardo) is the only last minute goal I can think of.My first Derby memory was the 5-1 in 1989 (my first game was September 88), since then I reckon yesterday was at least the 7th last minute/injury time winner they've scored against
Keane 1993 Maine Road
Owen 2009 OT
Rooney 2010 OT (League Cup Semi)
Scholes 2010 Etihad
Nani 2011 Wembley (Charity Shield)
Van Persie 2012 Etihad
Amad 2024 Etihad
I realise that is spread over a long period of time and according to Stat City (great work on that site) yesterday was the 74th game in that time but in all that time, I don't recall us ever scoring a last minute winner against them which really bugs me. Obviously its much better to steam roll them 3 or 4 - 0 and have the game put to bed which we've done many times but I think the euphoria of nicking one last minute to beat them is one of things left on the bucket list of watching City
Closest we've come was a ruled out Jesus winner for offside in April 2017 in a 0-0 draw at our place from memory...one day hopefully!

But we can word get-out clauses that come into effect if the club miss out on CL due to the charges, with appropriate minimum buy-out values.Sadly I am not sure who will sign with the legal case hanging over us

Why? Who said it had to be a unanimous vote?
Not sure where you are coming from, but I doubt you know either.
Let it fucking drop, he was selected to be captain by some members of the team, not sure if a majority, his bessie mates, hardly any fucker, but somebody who had influence in the team - OK ?
I think Buzzer (Mike Summerbee) scored very late in a League Cup Semi at Old Trafford (probably 1970). We had an indirect free kick (whatever happened to those) and Franny Lee hit it hard at goal, Stepney parried it into Buzzers path and we went on to beat West Brom on a mudheap at Wembley. I think they had the Horse of the Year show on Wembley a few days before.Charity shield in August (Bernardo) is the only last minute goal I can think of.

They'd have needed another couple of penalties and two own goals to get six. They were never going to do it without our help.The only positive is they didn’t get revenge for the sick swan, because we are so embarrassingly bad I really feared it

If you look at the patterns of play involving us you can tell a lot about our problems. There are regularly upwards of 20 players in the opposition third for large periods of the game. Even if you are absolutely on form with your passing that is extremely congested. It certainly allows no space for forward runs of any sort (the kind that the Viking loves). It also means that our defending, such as it is, consists of sprinting back 50 yards chasing balls over the top as the oppo break in groups. Probably not ideal for a midfield containing several players either getting on a bit, or carrying knocks.Examples like this are available in pretty much every game in this run. De Bruyne gave Wood a nice assist against Forest that should have made it 1-1 and we'd have probably lost. Bernardo giving the ball away against Palace before we decided not to defend the corner. Doku running into Danilo before we decide to run back aimlessly and give them all the time in the world to pick their moment to score.
We score from a De Bruyne cross and with the final play of the first half decide not to just swing one into the box yesterday and instead do something silly. There was another moment in the second half where Walker was taking an age to decide where to pass the ball from the free kick before Bernardo scurried over, quickly fired a poor pass towards Haaland who lost the ball and before we knew it the rags were at our goal and luckily (at the time) we got away with it. The decision making is fucking awful, the panic defending remains and Pep still hasn't sorted it.
We continue to defend in a mad scramble running back but not picking players up. It was piss easy for the rags yesterday and they were fucking shite. They should have battered us. Villa will take us to the cleaners even in their form if we play the same way. All you have to do is pass and move and we can't cope. We run back and defend the inside of the box, leaving space and opposition players free. We then react and guess what - more space appears. It's like watching kids. I don't know what Pep can do. He should get the first team to play 11 v 11 against our academy all week and see how they get on. Blow the whistle anytime any one of them is in the wrong position. Go back to basics and act like you've never worked with them before, because it doesn't appear like they remember anything you've taught them.
