Youssoufa Moukoko youngest Bundesliga scorer - Five BVB players in top 10
Ultimately the Bundesliga goal has been overshadowed by another disappointing Borussia Dortmund performance. Just one week after firing head coach Lucien Favre and after a brief bright spot under new head coach Edin Terzić in their 2-1 victory over Werder midweek, BVB have suffered a 2-1 defeat to Union Berlin. Nonetheless, history was made in the form of Youssoufo Moukoko.
The 16-year-old striker already holds the record as the youngest player ever to appear in the Bundesliga. Aged 16 years and 28 days, he became the youngest player to ever score in the Bundesliga on Friday, breaking a record set by Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz earlier this year. Moukoko joins former BVB stars Nuri Sahin (17 years, 2 months, 21 days), Christian Pulisic (17, 6 months, 30 days), Lars Ricken (17 years, 8 months, 1 day), and Ibrahim Tanko (17 years, 8 months, 7 days) in the top 10 list of the youngest Bundesliga scorers.
20 or younger: The most valuable Bundesliga talents
Three players in the top 10 managed to score in 2020—no other year has seen more than one player among the top 10 youngest scorers. Here Moukoko and Wirtz are joined by Jamal Musiala. The Bayern Munich star managed to score on matchday 1 in his club's 8-0 victory over Schalke. Musiala is the only Bayern player in the top 10.
