Shane Long Scores Fastest English Premier League Goal Ever


Southampton forward, Shane Long, broke a Premier League record for the quickest-ever goal, when he scored in 7.69 seconds against Watford on Wednesday, as the hosts struck late to earn a 1-1 draw.

The previous fastest goal was scored in 9.82 seconds by Ledley King for Tottenham against Bradford in 2000.

Long beat Ben Foster after intercepting an attempted clearance by Watford’s Craig Cathcart just after kickoff.

Andy Gray then equalized late for Watford.
