Michael Obafemi becomes Southampton's second youngest League Cup goalscorer

Michael Obafemi has become the second youngest Southampton player to score a goal in the League Cup.

The 19-year-old was included in Ralph Hasenhuttl’s starting lineup against Fulham, and he did not disappoint after scoring the encounter’s only goal.

After 57 minutes, Obafemi cleverly turned home Nathan Redmond’s cross at the back post and in the process, made history for himself at Craven Cottage as Southampton’s second youngest scorer in the tournament.

19 - Aged just 19 years and 52 days old, Michael Obafemi is Southampton's youngest goalscorer in the League Cup since Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain against Bournemouth in August 2010 (16y 360d).
