Vitolo delighted after scoring fastest ever Europa League goal

Sevilla winger Vitolo set a new record for the fastest ever Europa League goal when he gave his side the lead after 13.21 seconds against Villarreal . The visitors struck straight from kick off in their last-16 clash when Kevin Gameiro brought down a lofted ball forward and played a chipped pass for the onrushing Vitolo, who controlled the ball on his chest before coolly guiding his strike past Sergio Asenjo. The attacker sent his side on their way to a comfortable win, with Kevin Gameiro and Stephane M'Bia netting in a 3-1 first leg win. "I'm happy to beat this record," he explained to the media after the game. "The best thing is that we got a great result and we are so happy. "Villarreal have a good team and they showed it today. They had many chances." The goal was a full two seconds quicker than the previous record, which was held by Argentine Ismael Blanco, who struck after 15.19 seconds for AEK Athens in a 2-2 draw with BATE Borisov in November 2009. Former Netherlands international Roy Makaay holds the record in European competition, however. The Dutchman netted after just 10.12 seconds to help Bayern Munich to a 2-1 last 16 victory over Real Madrid in March 2007, helping the Germans to a 2-1 victory on the night as they eliminated Madrid on away goals before falling to Milan in the quarter-finals. source: goal
