Luton Town, two goals in the first 137 seconds of the match against Brighton
The small group from Kenilworth Road got off to a great start and scored through Elijah Adebayo (second 18) and Chiedozie Ogbene (2min 17sec).
Only one team has taken less time to score the first two goals in a Premier League match: in 1988, Leicester City beat Derby County 2-0 after exactly 120 seconds (2 minutes). Thus, Luton set a record for the 21st century.
Adebayo scored a hat-trick in Friday night’s game (he also scored in the 42nd and 56th minutes) as Luton Town moved to 17th in the table with 19 points. Instead, Brighton is in 8th place (32 points).
