Halaïli Becomes Youngest Israeli Scorer in Premier League History
Anan Halaïli, a player for the Israeli national team, has become the youngest Israeli to score in the English Premier League. He achieved this milestone on Saturday during Crystal Palace's 1-0 victory over Ipswich in the fourth round of the league. This was Halaïli's debut goal in the top-tier English league, scored in only his third appearance for the Eagles. At 22 years old, he has now entered the record books.
Halaïli 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 Ronny Rosenthal, Eyal Berkovic, Yossi Benayoun, Walid Badir, Idan Tal, Avi Nimni, Tamir Cohen, Tal Ben Haim, Itay Shechter, Tomer Hemed, Beram Kayal, and Manor Solomon.
Historically, Avi Cohen, who passed away, was the first Israeli player to score in the top English league before the Premier League era was established.
