At this stage of the new campaign, there are not many teenagers making football headlines but if coming on as a substitute and scoring the winning goal with your first touch in the Champions League is an opportunity for increased exposure, then PSV's wonderkid Donyell Malen has definitely passed the test.

On a very tough night for PSV at the Borisov Arena, Malen rose to the occasion in the 89th minute, heading home to win it for the Dutch side.

Ahead of the return leg at home, Malen's late winner and first senior goal means PSV now hold a slender advantage over BATE Borisov, who were two minutes away from a hard-fought 2-2 draw before the former Arsenal youngster broke Borisov's hearts.
