Barcelona's young powerhouse Pomeranians beat rival Young Boys 5-3 in a thrilling battle that saw 17-year-old starlets Estey and Wylian each score a goal and contribute an assist to bring their season's tally to 18, with 10 goals and eight assists surpassing the record of one-time star Nyima as Barcelona's most popular player of the U17 era. In June this year, Chelsea signed this future star for a whopping 28 million pounds (about 280 million Hong Kong dollars), and he will officially join the club next summer when he turns 18, Chelsea has really picked up a treasure this time.
In the marquee match, Pomeranian's other striker, Rafael Vega, even scored a hat-trick of solo goals. However, the media spotlight was on Estey and Welian as they were already tied with Nima before the game, jointly holding the 15-year record for goals scored by a Barclays Premier League U17 player. Nima scored 16 Barclays Premier League goals at the age of 17 when he played for Santos.
Estey and Welian added goals and assists in this game, updating their goal tally to 18. With 8 more rounds to go in this season's Barclays Premier League, Estey and Welian are expected to continue to set new records.
Estey and Welian have scored 10 goals in the Brazilian league this season, just one behind FALMINGO's striker Berdugu Boots, and lead the assist charts with 8 assists. They are expected to win the double honors of top scorer and top assists at the end of the season. What's more, they are expected to be part of Chelsea next season.
