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 FIVE fastest goals in Premier League history.

5. Mark Viduka (11.90 Seconds vs Charlton, March 2001)



The year was 2001 and it was quite a successful season for Leeds United, who finished in the top 4 in the Premier League, but just narrowly missed the top 3, which would get them into Champions League qualifications. Still, their season was filled with some memorable moments, one of which stood out and is still standing out. We are talking about the goal against Charlton Athletic, which was produced by Mark Viduka who needed only 11.90s to do so. By no means, a hall of fame player, Mark “The Duke” Viduka was still and still is one of the rare Australian players who left a mark in the EPL.

An 11.90s goal, which even after 18 years still holds the no.5 spot sadly has no video posted online, however, with the Premier League officially making it one of the fastest goals in the league’s history we will believe it did happen.

4. Christian Eriksen (10.54 Seconds vs Man Utd, January 2018)
