Since season 2007-08, Girondins de Bordeaux have carved out a niche as the club that regularly produces the fastest - if not the finest - goals in Ligue 1 Conforama.

While Michel Rio's historic Ligue 1 Conforama record of scoring after just eight seconds - for SM Caen on 15 February, 1992 - has not been in danger in recent seasons, Girondins de Bordeaux have established themselves as the club most likely to set a new benchmark in the domain.

Gouffran sets the standard

Yoan Gouffran has led the charge for Les Girondins, scoring the fastest Ligue 1 Conforama goal in the last 12 years - just 13 seconds into Bordeaux's 4-2 win over AJ Auxerre on 7 May 2012.

That's one second faster than two other Girondins: Jaroslav Plasil against ASNL on 4 December 2011 (2-0) and Valentin Vada in a derby against TFC on 21 January 2017 (1-0). All three matches were won by Bordeaux, who clearly enjoy taking an early lead and hammering home their advantage.

The 10 fastest Ligue 1 Conforama goals (since season 2007-08):

1. Yoan Gouffran (FCGB), on 7 May 2012 against AJ Auxerre - 13 seconds

2. Jaroslav Plasil (FCGB), 4 December 2011 against ASNL - 14 seconds

Valentin Vada (FCGB), January 21, 2017 against TFC - 14 seconds

4. Roland Lamah (LE MANS FC), 10 April 2012 against MHSC - 16 seconds

5. Romain Danzé (SRFC), 29 April 2009, against Bordeaux - 17 seconds

6. Toifilou Maoulida (RCL), February 10, 2008 against SM Caen - 18 seconds

7. Loïc Rémy (OM), 29 October 2011 against Dijon FCO - 19 seconds

Jimmy Briand (EAG), October 31, 2015 against FC Lorient - 19 seconds

9. Asamoah Gyan (SRFC), September 19, 2009 against GF38 - 20 seconds

André-Pierre Gignac (OM), September 14, 2014 against ETG - 20 seconds
