In Tuesday's dawn Premier League match, Liverpool turned back Aston Villa 3-1 away from home, with breakout 18-year-old star Bastia scoring after just two minutes of play, setting a new record for the youngest goal scorer in the history of the Premier League, second only to Fabigas's record of 17 years and 113 days, which he set in 2004 when he was at Arsenal against Blackburn.
Liverpool were the first to break the deadlock just five minutes into the game when Andrew Robertson's pinpoint cross was met by Mohamed Salah who snatched a shot from inside the box. A tidal wave of Liverpool attacks followed, with center back Zul Mathirbi scoring with a header that was ruled out for offside. Another central defender, Waqir Hernandez, was rock solid and scored from Salah's cross to extend the lead to 2-0.
Salah after this assist, has scored 125 goals and provided 50 assists for Liverpool in the Premier League, becoming the second player in the history of the Reds to reach "50+" in the Premier League in terms of both goals and assists after Sherratt.
Aston Villa pulled a goal back from Oniel Kenneth on the changeover, but by the 81st minute a Davin Narcisse cross was parried by Villa keeper Robin Olsen, and substitute Bastia grabbed the ball and fired into an empty net with ease, becoming the second youngest Spanish player in Premier League history to score a goal at the age of 18 years and 65 days.
Bastia, who can play both as a midfielder and defender, joined Liverpool's youth team from Cherda two years ago and has started to make his mark this season, making appearances in the Premier League against Bennymouth, the UEFA Europa League against Ajax and Napoli, as well as in the EFL Cup against Manchester City, and even starting the game against City, and picking up a goal in today's Premier League fixture, which is a remarkable rate of growth.
Meanwhile, Davin Narcisse, a scorer worth a whopping 100 million euros, missed at least four more good chances to score in this game, and his grasp is not even as good as the youngster's, which is not to be wondered at.
