Vinicius hails 'best night' as a Real Madrid player after netting in Clasico win

Vinicius Junior described Sunday's El Clasico clash with Barcelona as his "best night" as a Real Madrid player after leading the La Liga giants to a 2-0 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Vinicius broke the deadlock in the 71st minute, the Brazil forward played in by Toni Kroos before sending a deflected shot past Barca goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

At the age of 19 years and 233 days, Vinicius became the youngest player to score in the Clasico in the 21st century, breaking the record previously held by Lionel Messi.
