ARSENAL youngster Folarin Balogun has already made history with loan club Reims.
The striker joined the Ligue 1 outfit on a season-long loan deal earlier this month.
Balogun, 21, scored in his first two matches for the French side.
And earlier today he made history in his third.
The England youth international scored an 81st minute equaliser against Strasbourg, cancelling out Alexander Djiku’s opener.
Balogun’s strike earned his side their first point of the season… as well as a slice of history.

The young Gunner became the first player to score in their first three matches for Reims in 47 years.
Jacques Vergnes was the last player to do it, all the way back in August 1975.
Balogun’s previous two goals came in defeats to Marseille and Clermont Foot.
In the 4-2 loss against Clermont, Balogun also won a penalty, which was converted by Kamory Doumbia.
