In the early hours of Wednesday morning (7), the UEFA Europa League group stage saw an exciting battle between Group G's English Premier League rivals Manchester City and La Liga rivals Xavier's, who achieved a 4-0 victory. City's goal scorer Aynin Chalant scored twice, becoming the first player in City's history to score on his debut in the Premier League and UEFA Europa League.

At just 22 years of age, the Norwegian international has played in 20 UEFA matches in his career, accumulating 25 goals, making him the fastest and youngest player in UEFA history to reach the 25-goal achievement, surpassing two of football's biggest stars, Mes and Cron.

Manchester City brought in Ayn Rand this summer to fill the center forward position in order to make a difference in the UEFA Champions League title race. Ayn Rand lived up to his name and broke the deadlock for City with just 20 minutes to go in the game with a scooped shot.

In the second half, Phil Cotton added a second to increase the lead to 2-0, before Aynin Chalant added a brace and Rubin Dyas scored a near goal grab in stoppage time to help City to a 4-0 win over Westville.

Ainin Chalant has made eight appearances for City in all competitions this season, contributing 12 goals in an efficient goal-scoring performance. He became the fourth player in UEFA history to score for three different teams, the other three being Mouréndez, Saviona and Ibrahimovic.

It's worth noting that Ainin Chalant scored 25 goals in just 20 UEFA matches, becoming the player in the history of the tournament to reach 25 goals in the fewest number of matches. It's also worth noting that Mez scored just eight goals in his first 20 UEFA games, while Cron didn't score a single one, which emphasizes Charante's incredible potential.

In the other match, Dormont beat Copenhagen 3-0 at home thanks to goals from Margoléos, Rafael Gurrillo and Zudy Binningham.
