The teenager was on target again at the Camp Nou

Ansu Fati may only be 17 years old but he’s no stranger to breaking records and was as it again on Sunday night.

The teenager scored twice in two minutes at the Camp Nou to put Barca 2-0 up against Levante and become the youngest player to score a La Liga brace this century.

The first goal came on 30 minutes after a brilliant pass from Lionel Messi. Fati raced on to the ball and put the ball between Aitor Fernandez’s legs.

Fati’s second goal came two minutes later and also came from a Messi pass. This time he beat Aitor at his near post with the ball again going through the goalkeeper’s legs.

The goals mean that Fati has now scored five goals for Barcelona this season in all competitions in his first full campaign with the first team.
