Karim Adeyemi rocket tops the list as fastest shot for a goal this season

Borussia Dortmund and Germany forward Karim Adeyemi registered the fastest shot for a goal this season when producing his Matchday 4 piledriver against Wolfsburg.

Adeyemi's 20th-minute stunner proved to be the winner as Dortmund continued their unbeaten start to the campaign with a 1-0 victory over Wolfsburg on Matchday 4.

It was an effort worthy of winning any game of football and an undisputable rocket from Adeyemi - a claim backed up by the 78.18 mph (125.82 km/h) reading on the speed gun.

That made Adeyemi's strike the fastest shot for a goal this season, according to Bundesliga Match Facts, powered by AWS, surpassing Johan Bakayoko's 78.05 mph (125.6 km/h) effort against Mainz the previous week.

Hoffenheim's Vladimir Coufal also moved into the top-five list on Matchday 4, with his 73.91 mph (118.96 km/h) consolitary strike in defeat to Bayern the fourth-best so far this term. Serge Gnabry sits third after hitting 73.91 mph (118.96 km/h) in the defending champions' Matchday 3 win over Hamburg, while Adeyemi's teammate Felix Nmecha slips to the bottom of the leading quintet having set the pace on Matchday 2.
