I was thinking goals by teenagers where Brighton led the league by miles, U21 a bigger field obviously.

Mason Greenwood maybe? And of course his colleague in the footballing and raping worlds, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Dele Alli
Gabriel Jesus
Gabby Agbonlahor
Daniel Sturridge
Arjen Robben
Nicolas Anelka
Martinelli was last season and Saka the season before. Lukaku did it in consecutive seasons at different clubs (WBA and Everton). Ronaldo was a little older once he started banging them in.
Alli also managed it in consecutive seasons. Anelka was close but Owen pipped him to it.

Was Shearer U21 in the first season?
Robbie Fowler at least once after that.
Theo Walcott?
Calvert-Lewin 20/21?
Unsure if he was too old then though as I feel he's been around for a good 10 years already.
Didn't Teddy Sheringham score a bundle for Forest in the first season of what we now know to be football? He was probably too old, but he must have been young at some point.
He was at least 25 at that point.
How old was Alan Smith when he was good for Leeds?
He was indeed 25, and that was actually the LAST season before football was actually invented. He then went on to top the scoring charts in the first ever PL season.
Smith managed 11 PL goals in 2000-01, but that was the Owen era.
Benteke for 2011/12? Or is that too early for him joining Villa
Or Super Mario for that year? Might be too early again.
Just realised I completely forgot to finish this one off - looking for the top goalscorer who was 21 or under in each PL season. Remaining seasons and clubs they played for are below:
1992-93 - Crystal Palace
1996-97 - Leicester City
1999-2000 - Leeds United
2001-02 - Aston Villa
2002-03 - Liverpool
2003-04 - Portsmouth
2008-09 - Arsenal
2009-10 - Liverpool
2014-15 - Tottenham Hotspur
Chris Armstrong
Emile Heskey
Michael Bridges
Harry Kane
He was quality before his knee injury.
The Villa one must have been Vassell, although their 01-02 squad had Angel and Dublin so I imagine it can't have been many goals.
Those be the doom and gloom years. David N'gog? I remember being lumbered with him up front.
Yakubu?
I only ever remember him for a goal against United which I'm sure he nearly fucked up and then being mobbed by Reina.
Aged 28.
Fabregas or Bendtner
James Wiltshire.
