In November 2013, Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic made football history during a Premier League match against Southampton. Just thirteen seconds after the kickoff, Begovic booted a long clearance from inside his own penalty area. Supported by strong wind gusts, the ball bounced high over Southampton goalkeeper Artur Boruc and drifted directly into the net.
The official measurement recorded the distance at 91.9 meters, which is roughly 100 yards. This incredible shot earned Begovic the Guinness World Record for the longest goal scored in a competitive football match. It remains one of the most unexpected and memorable moments in Premier League history.
While goalkeepers rarely score goals, this moment proved that anything can happen on the pitch. Did you watch this historic match live when it happened?
