They might start calling it “Slot Time.”

Arne Slot’s Liverpool, the defending Premier League champion, is making an uncanny habit of scoring late winning goals to start this season.

And it is evoking memories of the great Manchester United teams under Alex Ferguson doing the same on so many occasions deep into stoppage time — or “Fergie Time” as many labeled it.

In all five of its matches so far, Liverpool has netted a winner in the 83rd minute or later.

On Sunday, Mohamed Salah converted a penalty in the fifth minute of stoppage time to beat Burnley 1-0 for Liverpool’s fourth straight victory to open the Premier League. Then on Wednesday Virgil van Dijk headed home at a corner in the second minute of added time to seal a 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
