Southampton striker Shane Long has scored the fastest goal the Premier League has ever seen, the Irishman hitting the net after a mere seven seconds.
Long opened the scoring in Tuesday's game at Watford in record speed, giving his side the lead just moments after the game had kicked off.
Fans were still filing into their seats at Vicarage Road when their side shockingly went behind in record-breaking circumstances.
The Irishman's block put him clear in on goal and he kept his composure by chipping in over Ben Foster in the Hornets goal.

Long's goal beat the previous record, which was set when Ledley King scored after 9.82 seconds for Tottenham against Bradford in 2000.
