⏱️ Liverpool star bags fastest goal of the PL season in Anfield blitz

Blink, and you'll miss it!

It took Hugo Ekitike all of 46 seconds to give Liverpool the lead in their Premier League clash against Brighton at Anfield.

It is the Liverpool striker's sixth league goal of the season, including three in his last two PL matches.
