"Disappointed Newcastle conceded past the 80-minute mark for the eighth time this season, but Miley was proud at a new record he created with his 74th-minute header that put Newcastle in the lead and in position to seal qualification from the league phase of Europe's premier club competition. The 19-year-old is the club's youngest Premier League goalscorer, youngest Champions League appearance maker, youngest Champions League assist maker, and now their youngest-ever Champions League goalscorer."
"He took the record from Hugo Viana, now Manchester City's Director of Football, who was 32 days older than Miley when he scored in a Champions League qualifier for Newcastle vs. Zeljeznicar in 2002. It's a great feeling, especially hearing that, Miley told FourFourTwo immediately after the full-time whistle at the BayArena. It's what I've dreamt of since I was a little boy, really, and hopefully I can keep doing that and keep pushing on."
Lewis Miley created a new record with a 74th-minute header that put Newcastle in the lead and positioned the club to seal qualification from the Champions League league phase. Newcastle conceded past the 80-minute mark for the eighth time this season and failed to maintain the advantage. The 19-year-old holds club records as youngest Premier League goalscorer, youngest Champions League appearance maker, youngest Champions League assist maker, and now youngest Champions League goalscorer. Miley entered the match as a substitute for Joelinton after an hour. Joelinton is struggling for form and has a groin issue that could jeopardise his place for the upcoming Wear-Tyne derby.
