The honour of scoring the fastest goal in a Premier League match 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.
