Top 5 fastest goals in Premier League history

We will see the fastest goals in premier league ever scored. The fastest goal came in just 9.9 seconds. Players have shown us that it is never too early to score. The nature of a fast goal can range from sheer complacency from the opponents, to a lucky deflection resulting in a goal scoring opportunity, to utter brilliance from an individual player. In this slideshow, we look at some of the moments that ensure fans strap in from the very first second to the last.

#5 Jesus Navas- 13 seconds

The 28 year old, who is the newest inductee in a long line of successful Spanish wingers in the Premier League, made quite an impact in his debut season.

Navas was never known for his shooting skills back at Sevilla, where he mostly played a supporting role to target man Alvaro Negredo.

Manuel Pellegrini has changed his role in the City set up, allowing him more freedom to test the goalkeeper this season. Here is an absolute thunderbolt from the Spaniard just after 13 seconds against Tottenham Hotspur.

#4 Dwight Yorke- 13 seconds

The inclusion of Dwight Yorke on this list comes as no surprise. He scored for Aston Villa against Coventry in 1995.

The fact that it was a derby puts him above Jesus Navas on this list, despite both of them scoring in exactly 13 seconds.

The smiling assassin (his cool finishing and constant smile earned him this name) was loved by fans, as he went on to form one of the most lethal attacks in world football, alongside Andy Cole at Manchester United.

The footage of him scoring has also seemed to have been lost in time. Reports suggest it was a scrappy goal nonetheless.

#3 Mark Viduka- 11.1 seconds

Mark “The Duke” Viduka, is one of the very few Australians who made a mark in the Premier League. He was never the fastest player, but he was skilful enough to more than compensate for that.

With rather quick feet for a 6”2’ player, along with an immense right foot, he became a fan favourite at Leeds. He scored his fastest goal against Charlton.

Unfortunately his goal hasn’t been deemed impressive enough to be uploaded to any website so far.

#2 Alan Shearer- 10.4 seconds

Alan Shearer, is another player of legendary status on this list.

The Newcastle hitman, is one of the greatest strikers the Premier League has produced. Out of the 206 goals he scored, this one is a true testament to his tireless work rate and the poacher like instinct he possesses.

A complete howler from Carlo Nash giving Newcastle an early lead. They went on to win the game 2-0 quite comfortably.

#1 Ledley King- 9.9 Seconds

The recently retired English Central Defender, is the last name you would expect on a list associated with goal scorers and speed.

He is better known for his injury troubles off the pitch in the latter stages of his career, rather than his heroics on it. However, he was a favorite of the Spurs faithful.

A lucky deflection, to completely wrong foot the Bradford City goalkeeper, set up an exciting 3-3 draw between the two sides.
