📸 29 seconds... the fastest goal of the season scored in the Premier League | OneFootball

Shouldn't have been late!

This Saturday, Hugo Ekitike dazzled in the Premier League match between Liverpool and Brighton (2-0).

The French international stood out by opening the scoring after 46 seconds, becoming the fastest scorer of the season.

Unfortunately for the former Reims and PSG player, his record lasted only a few hours.

Indeed, this Sunday, in the match between Aston Villa and West Ham, the Hammers opened the scoring after just... 29 seconds.

The man who punished Unai Emery's team is named Mateus Fernandes. And the score is currently 2-2 in this match.

For the record, the fastest goal in PL history was scored by Shane Long.

The Irish international, then at Southampton, needed only 7.69 seconds to find the back of the net against Watford.

This was during the 2018-19 season.
