Former Glasgow Rangers striker Jean-Claude Darcheville scored for Valenciennes after just 26 seconds on Saturday to register the fastest goal in the French championship this season.

Darcheville put his team ahead at home to Auxerre to beat the previous fastest goal this season of 52 seconds, which was scored by Thomas Kahlenberg for Auxerre against Le Havre on 21 February.

The fastest goal of all time in the French top flight was scored by Michel Rio after eight seconds playing for Caen against Cannes in February 1992.
