Sweet 16, and Olinga already scored a goal

Sixteen-year-old Fabrice Olinga made history on Saturday when he became the youngest ever player to score in La Liga, grabbing the only goal as Malaga clinched a 1-0 victory at promoted Celta Vigo.

The Cameroon-born forward came on as a 58th-minute substitute to make his league debut and got the 84th-minute winner as the new season got under way.

At 16 years and 98 days, Olinga is 191 days younger than current Athletic Bilbao player Iker Muniain, who had held the previous record for youngest scorer.
