    Soccer News: Luke Shaw scores the fastest goal in the European Championship final

    England winger Luke Shaw scored the fastest goal in a European Championship final with his goal in two minutes against Italy.

    Shaw came on the end of a Kieran Trippier cross at the far post and flew out Gianluigi Donnarumma to give Gareth Southgate’s side an early lead in Sunday’s match at Wembley.

    The goal was Shaw’s first for England in his 16th appearance and was timed in one minute and 57 seconds, surpassing the previous record held by Chus Pereda for Spain against the Soviet Union in 1964 (05:04)

    It was also England’s fastest goal in a European Championship match, 17 seconds faster than Alan Shearer’s shot against Germany in 1996.

    Shaw was a key player in the Three Lions’ run to the final at home, having also witnessed three goals before the showdown with Italy. In fact, only Cristiano Ronaldo (six) and Patrik Schick (five) were directly involved in more Shaw’s Euro 2020 goals.
