Everton is hosting Leicester in matchweek 24 of the English Premier League. The game started in spectacular fashion for the home side, as the Toffees found the net twice before the sixth minute.
The first goal of the match turned out to be a historic one for Everton.
Details. Midfielder Abdoulaye Doucouré opened the scoring just 10 seconds into the game. This goal became the fastest ever recorded by the Liverpool-based club in Premier League history.
Doucouré’s strike also ranks as the fourth-fastest goal in the history of the Premier League (00:10:18 seconds) and stands as the quickest goal ever scored by a home team in the competition.
It is worth noting that the fastest goal in Premier League history was scored by former Southampton forward Shane Long in 2019.
Recall. Before today's match, Everton was sitting in 16th place in the Premier League standings. In January, the Toffees once again appointed David Moyes as head coach.
