[Have they even been on TV much?]

In my opinion.

There is a bit more to it than that. Teams that score in the last few minutes tend, in my opinion, to be fitter than those who don't, tend to have a big more fight in them. Teams like that win.
Now of course these could be two flukes I didn't see the games so cant comment particularly on whether they were flukes or the result of hard work

Aye. fluke goals can occur at any time in a match, from the first minute to the last.
There are very few fluke goals imo.
There are howlers from defenders and deflections, but those aren't flukes as a rule. Somebody has to be there to take advantage of a mistake. Pablo's goal at Blunts wasn't a fluke for example, the mistake was provoked by our players.
Yeboah's thunderbastards weren't flukes even though only 1 in 100 went in.
Getting late goals is a sign that teams keep fighting to the final whistle, have self belief and are fit. There's not much luck involved as a rule.
