FeatureDiogo Jota joins two others as Liverpool's fastest-scoring Premier League sub

The No.20 stepped off the bench in the 65th minute at the City Ground and nodded in Kostas Tsimikas' corner 21 seconds later to draw Arne Slot's men level.

That header matched the club's previous bests in the competition, set first by David Thompson and then Daniel Sturridge.

Thompson netted the second goal of his Liverpool career in January 1999 to complete the scoring of a 7-1 victory over Southampton at Anfield.

Meanwhile, Sturridge's second – and quickest – instant impact for the Reds came on the opening weekend of the 2018-19 season at home to West Ham United.

Igor Biscan was five seconds later than the trio when the stoppage-time sub added the fourth of his side's 4-2 comeback at Fulham in October 2004.

Fabio Borini scored within 35 seconds of his introduction away at Newcastle United in April 2013, while Divock Origi received a kiss from the travelling Kop when he did so in 38 at Aston Villa on Valentine's Day in 2016.

In November 2021, Takumi Minamino was celebrating 41 seconds after he was handed an opportunity by Jürgen Klopp against Arsenal in a 4-0 victory in L4.

Sturridge is currently the only player to score for Liverpool within a minute of being introduced on two occasions.

The marksman first achieved the feat in December 2016 at Anfield, adding to the scoreline 54 seconds following his entrance to an encounter with Stoke City.
