This Saturday, a young French footballer entered the Premier League history books.
Arsenal had the opportunity to move one step closer to the Premier League title this weekend. However, the Gunners lost miserably at home (1-2) against the Bournemouth Cherries.
And it was Éli Junior Kroupi who dealt the first blow to the London club. Established, the French center forward opened the scoring 17 minutes after kick-off. An achievement that brings 10 the former FC Lorient’s total goals in the Premier League this season.
A first in the 21st century
This performance is the first achieved by a young person under the age of 20 in the elite English championship in this 21st century. We have to go back to the 1999-2000 season to see a player under the age of 20 cross this symbolic bar. It was Robbie Keane in Coventry City colours.
An unconditional Barça fan, I began my career as a journalist in 2015. I covered the 2017 CAN in Gabon and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, among others. As a football match commentator, I recently took a liking to the EuroLeague Basketball, where my favorite player is Facundo Campazzo.
