Moukoko becomes Bundesliga’s youngest goalscorer in Dortmund defeat

Borussia Dortmund’s Youssoufa Moukoko became the youngest player to score in the Bundesliga as his side lost 2-1 to Union Berlin.

The striker, aged 16 years and 28 days, equalised on the hour mark.

It beat the previous record set by Florian Wirtz, who scored for Bayer Leverkusen against Bayern Munich aged 17 years and 34 days in May 2020.

Union’s goals were both from set-pieces – on-loan Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi and Marvin Friedrich scoring.

Dortmund, who sacked Lucien Favre as manager on Sunday in the wake of the 5-1 thrashing by Stuttgart, are fourth in the league. (BBC)
