Asmir Begovic's goal against Southampton last season has booked a place in Guinness Book of World Records for the 'longest goal scored in football'. The goal was recorded to be scored from a distance of 91.9 metres (301ft 6in).
The goal was scored in just 12 seconds after kick-off . The ball caught the wind and then bounced over Artur Boruc into the net.

Begovic told www.stokecityfc.com: 'I feel amazing to be honored in this way and as a goalkeeper I didn't expect this to happen, not for this type of record anyway. I will take it though and enjoy it.
'I really do appreciate this award and the certificate will certainly take pride of place on the wall at home.
'So thank you to everyone at Guinness World Records for presenting me with this wonderful award.'
