Harvey Elliott Becomes the Premier League's Youngest Ever Player After Making Fulham Debut

Harvery Elliott has made history following his introduction for Fulham against Wolves by becoming the youngest player ever to play in the Premier League.

It was the 88th minute when interim manager Scott Parker turned to the winger, bringing him on for his first taste of Premier League action for the Cottagers at Molineux, who eventually lost the game 1-0.

At 16 years and 30 days, Elliott has made it into the Premier League's history books, with him taking the title of the competition's youngest ever player.

Fulham in fact occupy the top two positions when it comes to youngest ever Premier League debutantes, as defender Matthew Briggs previously held the record at 16 years and 68 days following his debut in 2007.
