THEO Walcott scored the fastest goal
of the Premier League season as Arsenal beat Queens Park Rangers 1-0 to
climb into third place, while Wigan boosted their hopes of survival
with a resilient 3-2 win at West Bromwich Albion.
Walcott netted after just 20 seconds against relegated QPR at Loftus Road, eclipsing former Arsenal team-mate Robin van Persie, who had scored for Manchester United against West Ham United after 33 seconds in November.
The England forward was denied by QPR goalkeeper Rob Green on three separate occasions as the visitors sought a second goal, but Arsenal were ultimately indebted to their own goalkeeper, Wojciech Szczesny, for a fine late save to thwart Loic Remy.
"You can only win your own games and watch what happens elsewhere," said Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
