Sassuolo: AC Milan forward Rafael Leão scored the fastest goal in Serie A history on Sunday, netting after just six seconds at Sassuolo.

Striker Rafael Leao hit the back of the net after just 6.2 seconds against Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium, after Hakan Calhanoglu ran straight at the Sassuolo defence from the kick-off and slipped the ball through to the Portuguese youngster, who buried the ball past goalkeeper Andrea Consigli.

It was Leao's third Serie A goal this season, his fourth in all competitions.

This goal breaks the previous record by Paolo Poggi, who scored after 8.1 seconds for Piacenza against Fiorentina in December 2001.
