FC Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal made history on Sunday by becoming La Liga's youngest ever goalscorer.

The Spain international netted a much-needed strike for his boyhood club, who had been shocked by falling 2-0 down to Granada away.

Bryan Zaragoza Martinez put the hosts up with a brace which was started in less than half a minute when Gavi was dispossessed in his own half.

Approaching the half hour mark, the winger the doubled his side's account and left Xavi Hernandez's men stunned.

The former midfield didn't give his charges a dressing down during a water break approaching 40 minutes and instead encouraged youngsters such as Fermin Lopez and Lamine Yamal.

A pat on the back clearly worked for the teenager, who Xavi helped make history by becoming Barca's youngest appearance maker in the 21st century and in La Liga in the spring when given a run out towards the end of a 4-0 win over Real Betis.

Since then, Lamine Yamal has become a starter in the first team and was guaranteed the nod this evening given injuries to Raphinha and another to Robert Lewandowski meaning that Ferran Torres had to fill in as a striker.

Playing on the right wing in stoppage time of the first half, the number 27 made an impact on the fixture and history when embarking on an excellent diagonal run in the box.

Latching on to Joao Felix's pass, Lamine Yamal made sure he stayed onside, controlled the ball with the outside of his stronger left foot and then poked home a much needed consolation goal.

Barca therefore went down the tunnel for the interval just a goal down, and Lamine's name was the talk of social media.

In another record broken, he eclipsed Fabrice Olinga who scored the only goal of the game for Malaga against Celta Vigo on August 18, 2012 aged 16 years and 98 days.

With another international break upon us, it was now or never for Lamine Yamal to top Olinga and he did it at at 16 years and 87 days of age.

Barca will not be in action again until October 22 when they host Athletic Club at the Montjuic Stadium, with Laime Yamal already 16 years and 101 days of age by then.
