10 Football Records That Will Never Be Broken

7. Fastest FA Cup Final Goal

As the sayings go, records are made to be broken. But in this instance, it's an unlikely scenario.

FA Cup finals can often get off to a slow start as teams find their feet on the big stage. Not for Louis Saha and Everton in 2009 however.

With a mere 25 seconds on the clock, the French forward swivelled just inside the Chelsea area to fire home a Marouane Fellaini knock down. The strike blitzed Roberto Di Matteo's previous record of 42 seconds for Chelsea in the showpiece against Middlesbrough in 1997.

Unfortunately for the Toffees and Saha, the London outfit managed to turn the game around and ran out 2-1 victors, leaving the newly-set record worthless.
