Granada draw 3-3 against Barcelona Man Utd loanee Pellistri scores and assistsMatches Eto'o record from 2000 WHAT HAPPENED?

Pellistri made his loan move from the Red Devils to Granada on the final day of the January transfer window, and he justified his signing with a goal and assist in just his second game in La Liga. The 22-year-old teed up Ricard Sanchez for the first goal and scored the second with an instinctive finish at Marc-Andre ter Stegen's far post.

Pellistri's contributions helped Granada take home a point from the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys as the game ended 3-3. Pellistri also became the youngest player (22 years and 53 days old) to score and assist in a La Liga game against Barcelona since Samuel Eto'o did so for Mallorca against the Catalan side in 2000, as per OptaJose.

The Uruguayan player will likely be in action with Granada again when they take on Almeria in a bottom-of-the-table clash on Sunday, February 18. Pellistri will hope that United boss Erik ten Hag has been watching his fast start to life in La Liga, as he will surely still have ambitions to return to Old Trafford and make the first-team grade.
