Shane Long scored the fastest goal in Premier League history as Southampton edged another point closer to safety.
The Republic of Ireland striker fired his side ahead after 7.69 seconds at a stunned Vicarage Road.
But his first-minute goal was cancelled out by a last-minute one from Andre Gray as Watford secured a 1-1 draw.
The strains of Sir Elton John's 'Rocket Man' had barely finished booming over the loudspeakers when Long gave Southampton lift-off.
Amazingly, the goal actually came from Watford's kick-off. Roberto Pereyra played the ball from the centre-circle back to defender Craig Cathcart some 40 yards from his own goal.
As Cathcart attempted to launch the ball up field, Long charged it down and raced through before lifting it over Hornets goalkeeper Ben Foster.
