USA striker Bobby Wood scored the fastest goal of the 2018/19 Bundesliga season in Hannover's 4-1 defeat at Borussia Mönchengladbach on Sunday.

The 26-year-old found the net inside 22 seconds at Borussia-Park, slotting home a fine pass from returning strike partner Niclas Füllkrug.

The goal was Wood's third in 10 Bundesliga appearances following his summer loan move to Hannover from Hamburg. He grabbed a brace in the 3-1 win over VfB Stuttgart on Matchday 7, and has now scored more times than he did in 24 games for HSV last term.

Whilst playing for Union in Bundesliga 2 in 2015/16, he set a single-season record for most goals by an American (17).
