Éli Junior Kroupi equals historic Premier League record

The new darling of Bournemouth supporters, Éli Junior Kroupi ends his first Premier League season like a cannonball. The French international hopeful scored this Sunday against Crystal Palace (3-0) his 12th goal in the English elite, he who was still playing in Ligue 2 under the colors of Lorient last season.

Without being the most visually striking – it is a penalty – this goal has above all a symbolic resonance since it allows Kroupi to equal a historic record held by… Robbie Keane and Robbie Fowler. The 19-year-old striker effectively becomes the third player under the age of 20 to score 12 goals in a Premier League season.
