The 7 Fastest Goals in Premier League History
Jesus Navas opened the scoring for Manchester City against Tottenham after just 13 seconds with a brilliant lobbed strike.
But where does that rank in the fastest Premier League goals of all time?
7. Jesus Navas vs Tottenham: 13 Seconds
Unfortunately for Navas, his strike is only the seventh fastest in Premier League history.
Hugo Lloris cleared the ball poorly and it fell to Sergio Aguero who took on the Spurs defence and unleashed a shot. Lloris saved brilliantly, but it fell into the path of Jesus Navas who, from an almost impossible angle, lifted the ball over Lloris's head and it nestled into the back of the net..
Perhaps not the fastest, but definitely one of the best.
6. Asmir Begovic vs Southampton: 13 Seconds
Begovic scored from inside his own penalty area when he hoofed the ball all the way up the field and Southampton keeper Artur Boruc misjudged the flight of the ball and it bounced over his hapless head.
5. Dwight Yorke vs Coventry City: 13 Seconds
Before he formed a lethal partnership with Andy Cole at Manchester United, Dwight Yorke was banging goals in for fun at Aston Villa.
The Trinidadian international striker is another one who found the net around the 13 seconds mark with this header vs Coventry City all the way back in 1995.
4. Chris Sutton vs Everton: 13 Seconds
Chris Sutton was part of the original SAS with all-time Premier League goal-scorer Alan Shearer and their goals fired Blackburn to the Premier League title under the leadership of Kenny Dalglish.
Sutton is another Premier League player who managed to find the net around the 13 seconds mark with his strike against Everton in 1995.
3. Mark Viduka vs Charlton: 11.1 Seconds
Mark Viduka was one of the Premier League's best ever foreign imports and scored a sack full of goals for Leeds United, Middlesbrough and a few for Newcastle.
His strike against Charlton in 2001 is the third fastest in Premier League history.
2. Alan Shearer vs Manchester City: 10.4 Seconds
When you think 'Premier League goals', Alan Shearer is never far from the mind as the league's all-time Premier League scorer banged them in for fun during his time on the pitch.
Shearer managed to score after just 10.4 seconds vs Manchester City in 2001 when he charged down the City keeper. His determination proved fruitful and he was presented with an empty net to score the second fastest goal in Premier League history.
1. Ledley King vs Bradford: 9.9 Seconds
