Not sure we have

Pretty sure in just about every game this season we've had more possession and more shots than the opposition, so if anything we could be said to have been slightly unlucky (Pukki slipping taking that penalty v Derby springs to mind)
Yes we've scored a lot of late goals, but why is that 'lucky'? Every minute is equally important, so why is an 88th minute goal considered lucky while, say, a 15th minute one is not?
