Unbreakable 5: Football records that are unlikely to be broken any time soon

#3 Longest recorded goal in Football history: Asmir Begovic, 91.9m

Begovic scores an astonishing goal

Sticking to records pertaining to distances we have a record for the longest goal ever scored in the game. The record for the longest goal is held by the current Bournemouth keeper Asmir Begovic against Southampton back in his Stoke City days.

Begovic’s extraordinary effort had come just 13 seconds into Stoke’s Premier League clash against Southampton at the Britannia Stadium. The Britannia is often known as a windy stadium due to it’s positioning over a hill. Begovic's goal was a testament to that.

Aiming to clear a back pass from one of his defenders, Begovic hoiked the ball clear along the entire stretch of the pitch. The ball bounced in front of the Saints keeper, Arthur Boruc before being swerving due to the wind.

Boruc couldn't recover and the ball ended up in the back of Southampton's net. Making Begovic the record holder for the longest goal. Begovic later admitted that he was lucky and went and apologised for the same to the Saints' keeper end of the game.
