Since the 2008-2009 season, Andre Ayew had held the record for Lorient's youngest ever goalscorer. The Ghanaian striker, on loan from OM at the time to sharpen his skills in Brittany, found the back of the net aged just 18 years and 285 days. He was dethroned on Saturday September 23 by Lorient's new nugget, Eli Junior Kroupi. The Franco-Ivorian scored his first professional goal in the 3-5 defeat to Nantes, aged 17 years and 92 days.
