Fastest Premier League Goals<\/span><\/h2>\n

Following a lack of concentration, an error, or complete luck, these players took their opportunity to score the fastest Premier League goals of all time. Let’s take a look at the top ten.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. James Beattie v Chelsea – 13.52 seconds<\/span><\/h3>\n

James Beattie and Southampton stunned Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on August 28, 2004 with a goal after only 13.52 seconds. Chelsea were able to overcome the early setback to win 2-1, with Beattie scoring an own goal 33 minutes after his early goal. <\/span><\/p>\n

9. Kevin Nolan v Blackburn Rovers – 13.48 seconds<\/h3>\n

On January 10, 2004, Bolton Wanderers\u2019 Kevin Nolan scored a goal after only 13.48 seconds against Blackburn. Nolan and Matt Le Tissier are one of only two midfielders to score multiple goals in the opening minute of a Premier League game. <\/span><\/p>\n

8. Chris Sutton v Everton – 12.94 seconds<\/h3>\n

On April 1, 1995 at Goodison Park, Blackburn striker Chris Sutton scored a goal after only 12.94 seconds. Sutton won an initial header then passed the ball to Alan Shearer. Sutton got the ball back and scored what was the fastest Premier League goal ever at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Dwight Yorke vs. Coventry – 12.16 seconds<\/h3>\n

Before he made a name for himself at Manchester United, Dwight Yorke was a key part of the Aston Villa first team. It isn’t the fastest Premier League goal in history, but Yorke\u2019s effort against Coventry in September 1995 is the fastest headed goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From the kick-off, Villa midfielder Ian Taylor ran onto a clipped ball down the right flank. He had the time and space to cross it into the penalty box, with Yorke finishing it off with a bullet header from close range.<\/span><\/p>\n

The goal set up a 3-0 win for Villa at Highfield Road and they would finish the season in a strong fourth place, while Coventry barely avoided relegation, avoiding the drop on goal difference. <\/span><\/p>\n
