Seeing is believing with young Gunner Dowman

At 15 years old, Max Dowman became Arsenal’s youngest-ever starter in the Carabao Cup, helping secure a 2-0 win and earning a standing ovation at Emirates Stadium.

  • On Wednesday, Max Dowman became Arsenal's youngest-ever starter at the Emirates Stadium as the Premier League club won 2-0 in the Carabao Cup fourth round, advancing to face Crystal Palace.
  • Mikel Arteta said, `If we looked at his passport every day we would never play him, simple as that` and Arsenal last week reached agreement for Max Dowman to sign scholarship terms starting next season.
  • Ethan Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka replaced Max Dowman with 20 minutes left and scored to secure Arsenal’s 2-0 win after Dowman featured as a substitute this season at Port Vale and Leeds.
  • Arteta warned the club must manage Max Dowman's steps and cope with rapid changes, conceding the teenager will likely want more starts and the Arsenal coaching and sporting staff must handle that demand.
  • On the night, Arsenal's defence kept a clean sheet while their defence has been breached just three times in 14 matches, and Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler rued his side's failure to score from six shots.
