Billing stuns Arsenal after scoring 2nd fastest goal in PL history

Arsenal did not get off to the best possible start against the Cherries. The Gunners were stunned just 9.11 seconds after kick-off when Billing put Bournemouth ahead by pushing the ball into the net.

Dango received the ball on the right flank and the winger crossed to the near post. However, Solanke failed to finish and the ball ended up at the far post, where an unmarked Billing pushed the ball into the net.

In doing so, Billing becomes the second fastest goal scorer in Premier League history. Ahead of him is only Shane Long (7.69). The Cherries player is followed by Ledley King (9.82), Alan Shearer (10.52) and Christian Eriksen (10.54).

Arsenal will need to come from behind if they are to extend their lead over Manchester City at the top to five points as the Cityzens cut the gap to two points after beating Newcastle 2-0.
