Shane Long broke Ledley King’s record of scoring the fastest goal in Premier League history to help Southampton edge ever closer to safety.The striker put Saints ahead after 7.69 seconds after charging down Craig Cathcart’s clearance.4
Watch: Long scores fastest ever goal in Premier League history
The goal was a fraction more than two seconds quicker than the Premier League’s previous fastest, scored by Tottenham’s Ledley King after 9.82 seconds against Bradford in December 2000.As well as writing a little piece of history for himself, and becoming an answer to a pub quiz question, Long must have thought he had all but guaranteed Southampton’s survival until Gray struck.Had they held on, Saints would have been eight points clear of Cardiff, who sit in the final relegation spot and have just three matches remaining.As it is, the six-point gap should be plenty, with the mission of Ralph Hasenhuttl, the manager brought in to save them from relegation, almost complete. Southampton are a shadow of the side that looked to be sleepwalking towards the drop under Mark Hughes, and they constantly worried FA Cup finalists Watford with their relentless pace and pressing in a frantic first half.They could have scored more with Nathan Redmond and Ryan Bertrand both hitting the woodwork.Redmond was also denied by a good save from Foster and Long headed two other presentable chances off target.Watford looked shell-shocked after that early blow, but they staggered back in to life and began creating opportunities.4
