Milan winger Diego Moreira became the youngest player to score twice as a substitute in a Serie A match after inspiring a 2-2 comeback draw against Lazio.

The Belgium international came on at half-time with Milan 2-0 down and struck twice in two minutes, scoring in the 65th and 67th minutes to rescue a point for the Rossoneri.

According to Opta, Moreira was 22 years and 37 days old when he set the record. The statistic covers Serie A matches since the 2004-05 season.

Moreira joined Milan from French club Strasbourg in August this year in a transfer worth 50m euros.

Ruben Amorim's side will next face Benfica at home in the Europa League on 16 September, before hosting Lecce in the league on 20 September.
