The strike arrived in a high-quality contest, with Aston Villa providing seasoned opposition in the league. It underlined the symbolic weight of opening his account in what is widely regarded as a highly demanding competition.

Rayan had been earning minutes under the coaching staff and the goal could help him secure a larger role in the side.

A product of Vasco’s academy, he moved in a notable deal and was quickly viewed as a long-term prospect by Bournemouth. In Brazil he stood out for physical power, pace and a direct attacking presence.

His early displays in England sustain the expectation around him and keep his name prominent among fans and analysts.
