Chelsea and Australia star Sam Kerr sees long-standing A-League record broken by 14-year-old Talia Younis

Kerr, a star for Australia and Chelsea, held the record as the youngest player to appear in the A-League, making her debut at the age of 15 for Perth Glory. Now, though, that has been broken by Talia Younis.

Younis came on as a substitute for Western Sydney Wanderers at the age of 14, and she is 49 days younger than Kerr was when she made her bow for Perth. She is also the first player born after the inception of the competition in 2008 to make her maiden A-League appearance.

Western Sydney required an exemption to allow Younis to play on Sunday, such is her age; she was born in 2008.

Western Sydney Wanderers' women's team play Western United on Saturday. It remains to be seen if Younis will start.
