Israeli Teenager Anan Khalaili Scores First Premier League Goal
Anan Khalaili, a player for the Israeli national team, scored his debut goal for Crystal Palace in their 3-2 loss to Ipswich on Saturday. The goal came in Khalaili's third appearance for the club and marks him as the youngest Israeli scorer in the English Premier League at the age of 22.
Khalaili joins an elite group of 13 Israelis who have scored at least one goal in the Premier League. This list includes notable players such as Ronnie Rosenthal, Eyal Berkovic, Yossi Benayoun, and Manor Solomon.
Historically, Avi Cohen was the first Israeli player to score in the top English league, prior to the Premier League's official establishment. Khalaili's achievement places him among these distinguished Israeli footballers who have found the net in England's premier football competition.
