The record for the youngest goal in the Football World Cup is in the name of Brazilian great Pele (17 years, 234 days), who made this record in 1958. Now after 64 years, Gavi (18 years, 110 days) has been able to reach close to Pele. Overall, Gavi is the third youngest player. The second number is Manuel Roja (18 years, 90 days) of Mexico, who did this feat in the first World Cup of 1930. (Twitter/FIFA World Cup)
