Moukoko bangers set Bundesliga goals record
Youssoufa Moukoko chalked up a Bundesliga record as he became the youngest player in the competition's history to reach 10 career goals – and number 10 was something special.
At the age of 17 years and 350 days, Moukoko showed why he is so highly regarded as his dazzling double helped Borussia Dortmund win 3-0 against visitor Bochum on Sunday (AEDT).
Moukoko hit the opener in the eighth minute, fending off a challenge outside the penalty area before crashing a 22-yard strike with his left foot that arrowed just beneath the crossbar.
That took him to double figures, and an 11th Bundesliga goal for Moukoko followed shortly before half-time when he caught goalkeeper Manuel Riemann well off his line and lobbed in from close to 35 yards.
Between those goals, Giovanni Reyna scored a penalty for Dortmund, which allowed Moukoko a rest late on, substituting the star of the show.
The double for the teenager made him the third-youngest player to hit two goals in a Bundesliga game. Only Chelsea's Kai Havertz (17y 343d) and RB Leipzig's Timo Werner (17y 249d) have done so at a younger age.
