Southampton striker Shane Long scored the fastest goal in Premier League history on Tuesday, netting after just seven seconds against Watford at ...

April 23, Reuters - Southampton striker Shane Long struck the fastest goal in Premier League history, inside seven seconds, but his team conceded a last-minute equaliser as they drew 1-1 at Watford on Tuesday.

The draw leaves the Saints still with work to do to ensure their Premier League survival. Southampton are on 37 points, six ahead of 18th placed Cardiff City, who occupy the final relegation slot, with three games remaining.Irish striker Long wrote his name in the record books when he charged down a Craig Cathcart clearance before running through on goal and lobbing the ball calmly over goalkeeper Ben Foster.

Long snatched the record from former Tottenham defender Ledley King, who scored after 9.9 seconds against Bradford in 2000. Watford's Andre Gray had gone close twice only to be foiled by Saints keeper Angus Gunn, but in the final minute of normal time he found the net from close range. Southampton's remaining fixtures are at home to Bournemouth, away to West Ham United and at home to already-relegated Huddersfield.
