The 10 Fastest Goals in Premier League History

Shane Long etched his name into Premier League history when he netted in less than eight seconds in Southampton's 1-1 draw with Watford on Tuesday.

It was the fastest goal that the division has ever seen, but there have been plenty of others who have come close to breaking this record before Long.

Here are the ten fastest goals in Premier League history.

Yes, you read that right. Asmir Begovic - the goalkeeper - currently has the tenth fastest goal in Premier League history.

Begovic's Stoke City quickly gained control of the ball after kick-off and passed the ball all the way back to the towering shot stopper, who smashed the ball forward from just a few steps in front of his six-yard box.
