Samu Omorodion scored one of the fastest goals in La Liga history after finding the back of the net in Barcelona's 2-1 win over Deportivo Alaves at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Sunday afternoon.


The former Granada striker pounced on Javi Lopez's cross to give Alaves the lead after 18 seconds, but Robert Lewandowski's brace gave the Catalans a hard-fought win over the away side.

Spanish-born striker, Omorodion has been one of the sensations in the Spanish league this season, with his performance earning him a move to a top-tier side in the last summer transfer window.
