"Arsenal starlet Max Dowman made history on Saturday by becoming the youth team's youngest-ever goalscorer in Premier League 2, netting on his first start in the competition. Dowman, aged just 15 years and 263 days old, broke a record previously held by Reiss Nelson (16 years, 57 days), who set the mark back in 2016. The England youth international is one of world football's most promising teenagers, having made his first-team debut for Arsenal against Leeds last month after shining in preseason."
"It was therefore a surprise to see him line up for the Under-21 side in PL2 -- which replaced the Premier League's Reserve and Academy leagues in 2012 -- and Dowman made an impact in his second appearance, and first start. Dowman scored in the 65th minute to level the match against Wolves after Arsenal had fallen behind 2-0. From the right hand side of the box, Dowman cut onto his right foot, chopped back onto his left, and slotted home a low composed finish."
Max Dowman became the youngest-ever goalscorer in Premier League 2 at 15 years and 263 days, netting on his first start to break Reiss Nelson's 2016 record. He has already made senior appearances for Arsenal, debuting against Leeds and featuring off the bench at Liverpool. Dowman scored in the 65th minute to level a PL2 match against Wolves with a composed low finish after cutting inside. Fellow midfielder Andre Harriman-Annous secured the win with a 99th-minute penalty. Dowman previously debuted for the U18s at 13 and became the youngest UEFA Youth League scorer against Atalanta.
