Newcastle gem Lewis Miley reaches Premier League milestone held by ex-Manchester United teenager

Newcastle’s Lewis Miley, at the tender age of 17 years and 229 days, has etched his name into the history books, becoming the youngest player to score for Newcastle United in the Premier League.

Although still ineligible for a night out at the pub, Miley has become a key component of Newcastle’s team this season and scored the Magpies’ opening goal in a 3-0 hammering of Fulham.

Miley's recent goal has catapulted him into the limelight, setting a new milestone as the youngest scorer for Newcastle United in the Premier League.

Miley's accomplishment extends beyond the confines of Newcastle United, as the youngster now holds the title of the Premier League's youngest scorer since Federico Macheda, who achieved a similar feat in April 2009 at the age of 17 years and 226 days while playing for Manchester United.

The significance of this achievement places Miley among a select group of young talents who have left an indelible mark on one of the world's most prestigious football leagues.

While the record is an extraordinary achievement, it also marks the beginning of Lewis Miley's journey in professional football.

The England youth international has already played 10 competitive matches for Newcastle, including six in the Premier League, three in the UEFA Champions League, and one in the Carabao cup and he is widely regarded as a Magpies star for the future.
