9.fastest red card

Imagine coming on a substitute and lasted just seven seconds.

That’s what happened to Serge Djieouha in 2013.

Greek second division side Gylfadas were trailing Olympiakos Volos 3-1 when Djieouha was introduced.

But he was sent straight back the other way after catching his opponent with his right arm.

10.Most goals scored by a goalkeeper 

Between 1997 and 2015, Brazilian goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni scored 131 goals for Sao Paulo.

13. Biggest away win in Premier league history.

October 25, 2019 was a grim day for Southampton.

They hosted Leicester City at St Mary’s but fell to an abysmal 9-0 defeat.

14. most football juggled atthe same time. 

We’re including this one for the fun of it.

Many of us can’t even juggle two balls, let alone five.

But that’s what Victor Rubilar (Argentina) did in 2006. He juggled five footballs in Sweden 14 years ago.

His record was equalled by Marko Vermeer (Netherlands) in 2014 and by Isidro Silveira (Spain) in 2015.

Here’s footage of Silveira casually juggling five balls for your pleasure…
