Wolverhampton will have a hard time trying to obtain good results while Raúl Jiménez is injured. The Mexican attacker was the top figure of the Premier League side so far this season, until he suffered a tremendous head crash with David Luiz and suffered his skull fracture. 

Without him, Wolves faced Burnley on Premier League Week 14 and were defeated 2-1. Despite the bad result, there was good news for the visitors. Fabio Silva, Portuguese attacker who is compared to Cristiano Ronaldo, has scored his very first goal as a professional player on the PL.

Silva is 18 years and 155 days old and set an all-time record: he is the youngest goal scorer on the story of Wolverhampton. The forward arrived to the club on September of this year, when they paid the fortune of $40 million for him to Porto. He then signed a contract until 2025 and is expected to be the great figure of the club in the future.

After much expectation, he played 10 goals without scored or assists, but on the last one he achieves to net his first ball. Despite the defeat, head coach Nuno Espírito Santo known now that he can trust Silva to replace Jiménez for a while, until he is completely recovered. Hulk and Salomon Rondon are the two signings that the English side thought about to replace the Mexican.
