Wu Lei's first goal in La Liga on Saturday night touched off wild celebrations among Chinese fans - some of whom even wept with joy.
Wu, who led the Chinese Super League in scoring last season before joining Espanyol last month, tallied in the 65th minute in his new club's 3-1 win over Valladolid.
It had been 3,731 days since midfielder Shao Jiayi was the last Chinese male player to score in a top European league when he netted for Cottbus in the Bundesliga on Dec 13, 2008.
