Yoane Wissa scored after just 22 SECONDS of Brentford's trip to Manchester City on Saturday, the quickest goal in any Premier League match so far this season.

It is the fastest goal EVER scored in the competition against a team who won the league the previous season. But, remarkably, Wissa's effort is only the 27th fastest goal overall in Premier League history. 

The honour of scoring the fastest goal belongs to Shane Long, who scored only 7.69 seconds after kick-off on 23 April 2019 for Southampton at Watford. 

The second-fastest strike came in the 2022/23 season when Philip Billing scored for AFC Bournemouth against Arsenal after only 9.11 seconds. It went into the No 2 slot ahead of the goal that defender Ledley King scored after 9.82 seconds for Tottenham Hotspur at Bradford City in the 2000/01 season.

Interestingly, eight of the 10 fastest goals have been scored by the away team.
