"He changed the game every time he got the ball. He made things happen and we looked like more of a threat. To do it at that age, in this context, with the pressure and expectations to win the game, it's just not normal. It was magical, all the bench and players together jumping up with the crowd, it was a beautiful day."
"It's incredible. You can see how he plays, he plays so calm and without fear every time he gets the ball. He takes the right decisions most of the time as well. You can see with the goal, he definitely took the right one. An amazing player and a great goal for him."
Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Everton, with 16-year-old Max Dowman becoming the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history. The match remained goalless until the 89th minute when Dowman's cross found Viktor Gyokeres for the opening goal. Dowman then scored the second goal in stoppage time after running from deep in his own half to finish into an empty net as Everton's goalkeeper advanced for a corner. The win extends Arsenal's lead at the top of the table to 10 points ahead of Manchester City, who have two games in hand. Manager Mikel Arteta praised Dowman's composure and impact, noting his ability to change the game despite his age and the pressure of the situation.
