Man Utd winger Pellistri's Granada performance a record-breaker

Manchester United loanee Facundo Pellistri became the youngest player to achieve a unique feat.

Pellistri managed to score and assist in a La Liga match away to Barcelona at the weekend.

His loan side Granada managed a 3-3 draw against the Catalan giants, with Pellistri playing a starring role.

He provided the assist for Ricard Sánchez to equalize in the first half, before scoring the second himself.

However, Barca did manage to get on level pegging late in the contest through Lamine Yamal.

Granada manager Alexander Medina told AS: "When I talked to him about coming, I told him what I wanted from him. The other day he had a great game, he is showing his hierarchy and personality.

"I am happy with his signing. And it will serve to show his football, which in Manchester was reduced."
