There are two types of Premier League wonderkid strikers. There are your Michael Owens, who burst onto the scene as teenagers and reach a level where their careers match the hype that came with their breakthroughs.
And then there are your Federico Machedas, who come from almost nowhere to suddenly make match-winning contributions, only to disappear from the public consciousness almost as quickly as they arrived.
The latest player to find themselves at such a crossroads is Brighton striker Evan Ferguson.
Having netted in both of the Seagulls' last two Premier League games, he became the youngest Premier League player to net in consecutive games since Macheda for Manchester United in 2009.
The second of those goals, against Everton, was backed up with an assist, making him the youngest Premier League player to both score and assist in the same game since Owen for Liverpool in 1997.
