Nyoni becomes Liverpool's second-youngest Champions League scorer

Trey Nyoni has become the second-youngest Liverpool player to score in the Champions League proper, volleying the Reds into the lead during the first half of Wednesday's league-phase tie away at Fenerbahce.

The midfielder was 19 years and 127 days old when he scored, placing him behind only Trent Alexander-Arnold on the club's list of youngest Champions League scorers. Alexander-Arnold was 19 years and 10 days old when he first found the net in the competition in October 2017.

Alexander-Arnold also scored the seventh goal in a 7-0 group-stage win against Maribor, a separate milestone from his own debut goal.

Nyoni is also the youngest player to score his first Liverpool goal in the European Cup. He surpassed David Ngog, who was 19 years and 252 days old when he scored at PSV Eindhoven in December 2008.

- Trent Alexander-Arnold - 19 years and 10 days - Trey Nyoni - 19 years and 127 days - Harvey Elliott - 19 years and 191 days - David Ngog - 19 years and 252 days - Curtis Jones - 19 years and 306 days
