Onana Scores Fast Debut Goal for Villa
Amadou Onana had an unforgettable start to his career at Villa as he scored just four minutes into his debut match. The Belgian midfielder, who joined the team from another club during the summer, found the back of the net after 208 seconds of play.
This goal ties Onana with Kevin Phillips, who also scored in the fourth minute of his debut for Villa back in 2005 against Bolton Wanderers.
Interestingly, Onana’s early strike is now regarded as the ninth-fastest goal scored by a player making his debut for a club in the Premier League. The record for the quickest goal is held by David Healy, who netted for Fulham just 51 seconds into his debut match back in 2007.
After Healy, the next quickest was Alexandre Lacazette, who scored 94 seconds into his debut for Arsenal in August 2017. Onana now finds himself among some notable names in this record.
As the excitement continues, fans are eager to see more from Onana this season, hoping he can keep up this impressive form and lead Villa to more victories.
