In the 16th round of the English Premier League, Liverpool are hosting Brighton at Anfield.
The Anfield crowd witnessed a lightning-fast goal from their team, as Liverpool broke the deadlock before the second hand had even completed its first revolution.
Hugo Ekitike capitalized on a defensive blunder, latching onto a rebound after Joe Gomez’s header. The Frenchman seized the ball and, from 11 meters out, coolly slotted past Verbruggen. Remarkably, Ekitike set a new record for the current season—his goal at the 46-second mark is now the fastest in this Premier League campaign.
The previous fastest goal of this Premier League season was scored by Newcastle defender Thiaw against Everton at the end of November.
