Shooting directly from kickoff

That was the first time I've seen a side shoot directly from the kick off with the new rules in place and we were unlucky not to score.

If that crept in that surely would've been the fastest goal in football history?

Under the old rules a goal could not be scored direct from the kick off - the ball had to tapped to someone if they wanted to shoot, so Lambert's shot would surely have been the quickest goal ever if Westwood hadn't tipped it over the bar.

How's about this then for a goal from a kick off.
