We've taken a look at the fastest goals to be scored in the history of the FA Cup following Ollie Pearce's early goal for York City against Northampton Town.
Pearce volleyed home just ten seconds into York's FA Cup first round tie against fellow League One side Northampton on Saturday afternoon.
The goal is the third fastest in the history of the FA Cup and the fastest in the history of first round ties.
Pearce's early strike was one second later than Jimmy Kebe's goal after nine seconds of Reading's 2-2 draw against West Bromwich Albion in the fifth round in 2010.
The earliest recorded goal in FA Cup history will take some beating and it came in the first qualifying round of the 2001/02 season.
The honour belongs to Gareth Morris who scored four seconds into Ashton United's 2-1 win against Skelmersdale United.
