Fábio Silva makes history at Wolverhampton and breaks Cristiano Ronaldo’s record – Wolverhampton

Despite leaving the field defeated by Burnley, Fábio Silva left Turf Moor with reason to smile. With the goal he scored in the 88th minute, the Portuguese forward became the youngest to score for Wolverhampton, surpassing the previous record holder. Rayan Ait-Nouri, which in October had marked with 19 years and 146 days. The former FC Porto not only broke that record but also pulverized it, as he made the net swing with barely 18 years, 155 days.

But there is more. According to Opta data, Fábio Silva was also the second youngest player in history to score a penalty in the Premier League, just behind Michael Owen, one of the greatest talents in the English league. For Liverpool, the then-young Red promise scored for Wimbledon at just 17 years and 238 days.

On the other hand, Fábio Silva also became the the youngest Portuguese to win in the Premier League, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo, who had scored his first goal (with Manchester United) at 18 years and 269 days.
