Goalkeeper Asmir Begovic scores incredible 100-yard goal 13 seconds into match (GIF)

Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic netted one of the most remarkable and ridiculous goals of the season against Southampton – scoring a wind-assisted 104-yard opener after just 13 seconds.

Just moments after kick-off at a blustery Britannia Stadium, Begovic kicked away a pass-back from deep inside his own area, which deceived everyone because of the conditions.

As the ball sailed much further than expected and bounced on the edge of the Saints penalty area, having been left by the away side’s center-backs, it also cleared the desperate reach of Begovic’s goalkeeping counterpart Artur Boruc to bounce into the net.



Besides becoming only the fifth goalkeeper to score in Premier League history, it is the fourth fastest too.
