Socceroos star Tim Cahill scored the fastest goal in Major League Soccer history when he struck for the league-leading New York Red Bulls just seven seconds into their clash with Houston Dynamo.
Cahill took the kickoff then ran forward to receive a lobbed pass from Dax McCarty, brought it down and blasted home a right-footed shot from outside the area.
The goal was four seconds faster than the previous MLS record of 11 seconds and it kick-started New York to a 3-0 away win on Sunday (Monday NZT).
It was just another highlight in a memorable season for 33-year-old Cahill with New York who lead the Eastern Conference and are guaranteed a playoffs spot.
He has 10 goals from 25 games, one more than celebrated French striker and teammate Thierry Henry, as well as four assists.
