Bournemouth’s Phillip Billing has stunned Arsenal by scoring one of the quickest goals in Premier League history.
The midfielder’s goal came almost immediately from kick-off as he tapped home after just 11 seconds – silencing Gunners fans inside the Emirates.
While it doesn’t quite eclipse Shane Long’s record breaking goal after just seven seconds, Billing’s strike is in the top five fastest of all time in the Premier League.

With Manchester City beating Newcastle 2-0 earlier on Saturday, the Gunners need to win to regain their five point cushion at the top of the Premier League.
Should they drop points, then the door will be open for City, as well as Man United, who are in scintillating form at present.
A win for the Cherries, meanwhile, could be crucial in the context of the relegation battle and would see them move to 24 points.
