Joseba Llorente Etxarri has inscribed his name in the record books after scoring the opener against Espanyol today in 7.42 seconds.The former Real Sociedad and Eibar forward controlled Victor's fine long-ball forward and, with fans no doubt still settling into their seats or filtering through from the turnstiles, immediately shot past Inaki Lafuente to put his side in front.
In the end, they went on to win 2-1, but Llorente's achievement will be remembered long after the result.
Llorente, 28, has recently hit form after a tough winter, making it nine for the season after his brace today.
His 7.42 second feat bests that of the previous record-holder, Dario Silva, by .58 seconds. The Malaga man struck home against none other than Valladolid eight seconds into their encounter in December 2000.
