History-maker Ansu Fati becomes youngest to ever score La Liga brace
Ansu scored both the goals as Barça beat Levante 2-1 on Sunday
Barcelona forward Ansu Fati was the star of his side's 2-1 win over Levante at Camp Nou on Sunday. He scored two goals in 103 seconds to become the youngest player to score a brace in La Liga and his strikes -- both set up by Lionel Messi -- gave Quique Setien's side three precious points. A performance to mark down and remember.
In his 13th league game, Ansi, aged 17 years and 95 days, broke the record held by Juanmi Jimenez (Malaga) since 2010, when he scored a double aged 17 years and 115 days, as revealed on Twitter by Mister Chip. Two more ex-Barça players feature towards the top of the list: Francesc Calvet (1940), who was 17 years and 191 days when he scored a La Liga brace, and Bojan Krkic (2008), who was 17 years and 208 days.
Ansu, with his double against Levante, now has five goals in all competitions since his first-team debut in August: four in the league (vs. Osasuna, Valencia and Levante [2]) and one in the Champions League (Inter). He's the fifth top scorer after Messi (19), Suarez (14), Griezmann (12) and Vidal (6).
MORE MINUTES WITH Quique
The Spain international has played more minuted under new coach Quique Setien (432) than under Ernesto Valverde (424). Under Setien, he has started all five games. Under Valverde, he appeared 14 times, but only four times from the start.
