Morgan records fastest goal in US history

American striker Alex Morgan has etched her name into the record books after scoring the fastest goal in US history.

Playing for the national side against Costa Rica in an women's football Olympic qualifier, Morgan scored within 12 seconds of the opening whistle.

Directly from the kick-off the US launched a long ball which found its way to Morgan who perfectly volleyed the ball into the back of the net.

The US went on to demolish Costa Rica 5-0.
