"Max Dowman. What a player, by the way. 16 years of age, almost 17, absolutely incredible. I watched him play against Chelsea about a year ago - and I've not seen anyone glide past people like this man does, other than [Lionel] Messi. That's a big, big comparison, but this man is a proper talent and will play a big part in Arsenal's future, and also England's as well."
"He played a crucial role in Viktor Gyokeres' 89th-minute opener before scoring with virtually the last kick of the game to net his first goal at age 16 years and 73 days. Dowman took the record that had been held by Everton's James Vaughan since 2005."
"Let him enjoy it and go and express himself. Mikel Arteta, some of the senior players in the Arsenal squad, will not let him get ahead of himself. But I think you have to let him enjoy this moment."
Max Dowman made history by becoming the Premier League's youngest goalscorer at age 16 years and 73 days during Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Everton. He broke the previous record held by James Vaughan since 2005. Dowman played a crucial role in Viktor Gyokeres' opening goal before scoring in the final moments. John Terry praised Dowman's exceptional talent, comparing his ability to glide past defenders to Lionel Messi's style. Terry emphasized Dowman's potential to become a significant player for both Arsenal and England. Dowman has made seven appearances for Arsenal this season, including becoming the club's youngest starter in October. Manager Mikel Arteta emphasizes keeping Dowman grounded, while Wayne Rooney encourages allowing him to enjoy his achievement and express himself.
