"Max Dowman, a 16-year-old Arsenal winger, became the Premier League's youngest goalscorer with a remarkable stoppage-time strike in his team's 2-0 win over Everton. Dowman collected the ball midway in his own half, dribbled around two Everton players and raced clear unchallenged from the halfway line to tap into an empty net, with Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford stranded upfield having gone forward for a corner."
"An English football prodigy, Dowman at 16 years, 73 days was playing just his third Premier League match after two previous substitute appearances at the start of the season. He broke the record of former Everton player James Vaughan, who was 16 years, 270 days when he scored against Crystal Palace in 2005."
"In November, Dowman became the youngest player in Champions League history at 15 years, 308 days when he entered as a second-half substitute against Slavia Prague. He was 14 when he was asked by Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to train with the senior team in December last year, and he starred on the club's preseason tour of Asia in matches against AC Milan and Newcastle."
