Martin Odegaard becomes youngest ever player in European Championship at 15 years and 300 days in Norway victory

Martin Odegaard became the youngest player in the history of the European Championship as he came on as a substitute in Norway's 2-1 victory over Bulgaria.

Aged 15 years and 300 days, Odegaard replaced Cardiff's Mats Moller Daelhi in the 63rd minute, as goals from Tarik Elyounoussi and Havard Nielsen either side of a Nikolay Bodurov equaliser saw the hosts run out winners at the Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo.

The European Championship has been running since 1960 and Odegaard beat the previous record held by Sigurdur Jonsson of Iceland, who had held it since playing in a Euro 1984 qualifier aged 16 and 251 days.
