Brian Madjo becomes youngest scorer in UEFA Super Cup history

Aston Villa’s 17-year-old forward Brian Madjo made a lasting impression in the UEFA Super Cup clash with Paris Saint-Germain by scoring a back-post volley on the verge of halftime. His strike levelled the match after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had opened the scoring for Villa earlier in the half. The goal secured Madjo’s place in the record books as the youngest player to both start and find the net in a Super Cup fixture.

According to Opta statistics, he eclipsed the previous youthful benchmark set by former wonderkid Patrick Kluivert. The performance has sparked speculation that Madjo could become a major talent in European football.
