Tweets came in on the stunning scenes as the FA Youth Cup game sees a goal scored after just FOUR seconds…
@Ben_D92: No it’s not unfortunately matched by a player named Gareth Morris, who scored after 4 seconds in a fa cup 1st qualifying tie in 2001 for Ashton Utd
@RBenzero: So, in summary, it’s still the fastest goal scored.
@lydia_print: Great goal, felt for the keeper but I loved how his teammate (#5) run up to him and basically put his arm around him….that’s what makes teammates
@GPB56: “Just go out there and keep it tight for the first ten minutes, lads.. ”
@Jay_Redfern_1: That keepers career is over lol
@darrensomers4: An absolute peach
@scriptwren: How cool is this?
@stevedeltasix: Four seconds β½οΈβ½οΈπ
@jamierhysmccloy: Stop it kid π₯π«‘
@camwlker: Unreal tbf
@DW_92x: Running to absolutely nobody in corner. Class
@Jamie_Dolphins: Howβs it not THE fastest?
@ATDHENUHIU13: Is it just me or anyone else already want to snap that number 10 in green
@ninety_six96: “Straight into ’em, lads!!!” *watches ball go straight over head into net*
@JackkFordd11: Keeper wants his contract terminating, the balls in the air for half an hour at no speed at all. How longs it take him to backtrack π
@PorrettaGareth3: Best thing about the clip is the captain of the opposition going to the keeper to get his head up. Good captain there!
@Itsallwrighty: Class from the CB π But to be honest, nothing you say to the keeper there is gonna make his nightmare any easier π
@heyit5sam: First touch of the ball. First attempt in goal. First shot on target. Whatβs the xG π thatβs a quality goal. Some ambition to try it from the kick off
@llucaalves: Wtf rusthall is my ends. Weird seeing a tiny semi pro team on fa cup page π€―
@camwlker: Chuck that in the tinder bio I reckon
@RHB1988: Fuck me keeper π€£
