Teenagers with goal or assist in each of their first three Premier League games

Only a few players have been able to set this record in the English top-flight.

Every player wants to prove their mettle in the Premier League, which is considered one of the most demanding leagues around the globe. Only a handful of players can live up to the intensity of this league. Some get used to the atompshere and they set new records and lead their team to regular success.

Talking about records, we have listed three players who have managed to set one specific milestone. Let’s take a look below.

Teenager to have a goal or assist in each of his first three Premier League games

3. Robbie Keane

Robbie Keane spent his playing career featuring for many top European clubs. He didn’t stay for a long period of time at a single club and kept changing teams. Despite barely playing for a team for an extended period of time, Keane was a true goalscorer.

He became the first teenager to record a goal or assist in each of his first three Premier League games. At the age of 17, Keane made his first-team debut with Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he scored twice. He led the team in goals scored the next season.

Although he switched clubs repeatedly between 1999 and 2002, his brief stints at Leeds United and Inter Milan were not very noteworthy. After joining Tottenham Hotspur in 2002, he played there in two stints totalling seven and a half years.

2. Anthony Martial

Anthony Martial joined Manchester United in 2015 with an initial fee of £36 million and possible bonus payments of £21.6 million, making it the highest fee paid for a teenager in football history at the time. The Golden Boy Award for Europe’s top under-21 player went to him in 2015.

However, his time at United was filled with constant injuries and inconsistent performance. Martial arrived at United as the next future star of the club, but never lived up to that tag. He spent half of his playing career there dealing with injuries.

However, he did enter his name in a record. He became just the second teenager to record a goal or assist in each of his first three Premier League games.

1. Rayan

Bournemouth star Rayan, 19, becomes just the third teenager to score or assist in each of his first three Premier League games. He joins Robbie Keane and Anthony Martial in the list.

In a 2-0 victory away to Wolverhampton Wanderers on January 31, he made his debut as a substitute and helped Bournemouth score their second goal. The following week, on February 7, he made his maiden start for the team and equalised in a 1-1 home tie with Aston Villa.

In the subsequent game on February 10, he scored a headed goal to help secure a 2-1 away victory over Everton. As a result, he made Premier League history by becoming the third youngster to score or assist in each of his first three games.
