Belgian striker, Christian Benteke has scored the fastest FIFA World Cup qualifying goal after just seven seconds.
The 25-year-old’s feat came against Gibraltar on Monday. The strike is also the quickest goal in Belgium’s history.
The Crystal Palace FC striker pounced on a loose ball from the kick-off and dribbled into the box before scoring with a left-footed shot.
The goal beat the record of 8.3 seconds set by San Marino’s Davide Gualtieri against England in November 1993.
Benteke added his second before half-time with Axel Witsel also on the scoresheet as Belgium led 3-0 at half-time at the Estadio Algarve in their 2018 World Cup Group H qualifier.
Chelsea’s Eden Hazard was also on the scoresheet, along with Dries Mertens, as Roberto Martinez’s side won their third 2018 World Cup qualifier to maintain a 100 per cent start.
