Image
The FA Cup has always been synonymous with magic. While that has generally referred to the underdog stories and giant-killings the com Pet ition offers, it could also allude to the remarkable individual narratives the FA Cup throws up. The competition has often proved a stepping stone for England's youngest talents, announcing themselves to the nation with a bit of magic. We've seen some of the country's most impressive players provide such enchanting moments over the years, finding the back of the net early on in their FA Cup careers. Here are the ten youngest goal score rs in FA Cup History . 10.

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane breaks 2022-23 Bundesliga top goalscorer record…in 11 games!

Harry Kane surely couldn’t have dreamt of making a better start to life as a Bayern Munich player, with his goals coring numbers in the first few months of the season reminiscent of how Erling Haaland kicked off his Manchester City career last year. Such has been the England captain’s form in front of goal, his two goals against Heidenheim on Saturday mean he has already passed the tally posted by the top goals corers in the 2022-23 Bundesliga…after just 11 Game s! Lewandowski’s goals tough to replace...for one year Although Bayern ultimately ended up winning an 11th successive title last season, they only just pipped Borussia Dortmund on the final day and were hampered by not having a top-class centre-forward following Robert Lewandowski’s departure to Barcelona. The goalscoring charts across the season reflect that, with Niclas Füllkrug of Werder Bremen and RB Leipzig’s Christopher Nkunku sharing the Golden Boot with 16 goals apiece . Bayern’s top league scorer was Serge Gnabry...

How many goals has Cristiano Ronaldo scored for Al-Nassr?

Cristiano Ronaldo returned to club action this weekend with Al-Nassr after a successful international break with Portugal, who qualified for Euro 2024 in Germany. On Saturday, the former Real Madrid forward scored a second-half free-kick to give his side a 2-1 lead over Damac FC.

The Premier League saw some major moves this weekend, with two managers losing their jobs as results at the top, bottom and middle of the table all took their toll.

Players who reached 20 Premier League goals the fastest

Get used to this. Erling Haaland has broken another Premier League record. Not only has he broken it, he has absolutely smashed it. During Manchester City's 3-1 win away at Leeds United on Wednesday night, the Norwegian became the player to reach 20 Premier League goals sooner than anyone else. He has achieved the feat in 14 games. It is abundantly clear that barring a serious injury, Haaland will win the Golden Boot in 2022/23. He has taken to the Premier League without breaking stride, but who has he beaten to the top of this particular record?
