Newcastle 2014-15 Season Review - 20 Stats From The Campaign
17. 8 - Seconds After Coming On As A Substitute That It Took Sammy Ameobi To Score At White Hart Lane
Sammy Ameobi may have done very little positive this campaign - but he did manage to bag the quickest goal by a substitute in the Premier League all season. The gangly winger had been on the pitch for just eight seconds when he fired a shot past Hugo Lloris to equalise for Newcastle against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on October 26th - having already completely outpaced Eric Dier to latch on to Jack Colback's exquisite ball.
