Max Dowman of Arsenal sets record as the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history.
At just sixteen years old, Max Dowman made history as the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history, securing Arsenal’s dramatic 2-0 win over Everton in stoppage time at the Emirates Stadium, bringing them closer to their first Premier League title in 22 years.
The home team started the match strongly, yet it was the Toffees who had generated more significant opportunities by the midway point, highlighted by a shot from Dwight McNeil that struck the woodwork.
Everton continued to pose challenges in the second half, but the substitutions of Viktor Gyokeres and Dowman shortly after the hour mark proved to be a wise decision by Gunners manager Mikel Arteta.
Dowman’s assist was pivotal in Gyokeres finally scoring with just a minute left, and the teenager sent the home crowd and his manager into a frenzy when he added a goal in stoppage time for a comfortable lead.
