Greenwood tops the chart

It should not be forgotten that he was still eligible for this term's FA Youth Cup and most boys his age would be operating primarily on the Under-18 stage. Yes, he made his breakthrough last season but there has been extraordinary development in 2019/20 for the talented teenager.

The records, understandably, keep tumbling for the young Yorkshireman. He became the most youthful Premier League scorer for seven years (since Raheem Sterling) when getting off the mark in the division at Sheffield United and his superb strike against Brighton & Hove Albion, his 13th overall, was his sixth in the league - the most by any player aged 18 or under in one campaign since our all-time record marksman Wayne Rooney's achievement, while at Everton, in 2003/04.
