seconds of their game against Leicester City to
equal the record for the fastest goal scored in the
Premier League this season.
Kevin Mirallas surged forward and beat two
Leicester players in the opening moments at
Goodison Park and, after the Belgian was brought
down, Davies pounced on the ball and poked it
past Kasper Schmeichel and into the net.
The 18-year-old became the third player in the
division to score after 30 seconds this season, after
Chelsea's Pedro achieved the feat against
Manchester United in October and Everton
teammate Romelu Lukaku did the same against
Bournemouth in February.
The goal was Davies' second for the club after he
opened his Toffees account with the third in a 4-0
win over Manchester City in January but Leicester
hit back quickly through Islam Slimani and Marc
Albrighton as three goals were scored inside 10
minutes of a Premier League game for the first
time since Newcastle United and Arsenal drew 4-4
in February 2011.
