The best I can come up with is Charlton 2-1 Stoke, March '95/96 season. Can't find the exact goal times anywhere. You can watch highlights (from Endsleigh League Extra, the middle of the night ITV highlights programme presented by Gabriel Clarke!) in which he says our two goals were in the last 5 minutes. Don't think they were both post-90 mins though.
Also had an 81 and 87 minutes turnaround at Oxford a couple of seasons later, and an 80 and 90 at Elland Road on the Prem.

After the game I was walking up Floyd rd and met Nick Hancock, I said to him I bet you thought that was all over, he replied fuck off.
Didn't we get a couple of injury time goals away to Newcastle in the early 90s we won 4-3 after being 3-0 down. Edit think we scored just the 1 in the 90th min

Actually, so did I, and if several others did too no wonder he told you to FO!
So has it ever happened before? Losing in an away league game on 90 mins and going on to win the game?
CE, I'm sure there hasn't but remember the average added time was 3 or 4 minutes until a few years ago unless there was a serious injury. Now we often have an average of 7 to 10 minute with the potential 6 windows of subs if both sides go for the max, plus the shithousery by CAFC or the opposition.
If we widen the net to any come-from-behind win where the winning goal was scored after 90 minutes, I can find four league examples in the last 15 ish years but none of them match CE’s criteria.
Most recent is away at AFC Wimbledon in February 2019.
In their most recent match on March 1, 2025, Charlton Athletic achieved a 2-1 victory over Leyton Orient in Sky Bet League One. Both goals came in stoppage time, with Macaulay Gillesphey and Kayne Ramsay scoring to secure the win.

Historically, one of the most remarkable comebacks occurred on December 21, 1957, when Charlton overcame a 5-1 deficit against Huddersfield Town to win 7-6. This match is often cited as one of the greatest comebacks in football history. CHARLTONAFC.COM
In more recent times, during the 2003–04 Football League Cup, Charlton faced Luton Town in a match that ended 3-3 after 90 minutes. Charlton won 8-7 on penalties, showcasing their resilience in a closely contested game. EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
These instances highlight Charlton Athletic's capacity to overturn late deficits and secure victories.
Seems like the Huddersfield game was at home so ruled out

Well it's all quite factual (despite missing that the Luton game was 4-4 aet), but I can't help but feel the conclusion is a little optimistic as if it's a capacity we can turn on like a tap.
I believe we also had something very similar at home against Norwich City a good few years back (Jason Lee being one of the goalscorers from memory)
I remember this one well. I left when Norwich went 2-4 up late on, to beat the traffic, only to hear on the radio, as I was driving across Plumstead Common, that we had pulled it back to 4-4.

Nothing like 3 examples in almost 70 years to highlight our capacity to overturn late deficits and secure victories.

Remember singing "You thought you had won, so did we" when we equalised
