Max Dowman has just broken another new record at Arsenal, even Bukayo Saka never did this

15-year-old Arsenal talent Max Dowman is regarded as one of England's finest young players, having already made appearances for the Gunners' first team in the Premier League and impressed with his skill. His growing importance was further emphasized by his inclusion in Arsenal's official first-team squad photo for the 2025/26 season.

Despite his involvement with the senior squad, Dowman started for Arsenal's U21 team in their Premier League 2 match against Wolves on Saturday. The game saw a dramatic turnaround, with Wolves leading 2–0 until the final 30 minutes, when Arsenal mounted a comeback. Andre Harriman-Annous scored twice, and Dowman netted the equalizer, making him the youngest-ever goalscorer for Arsenal's U21 side in the competition.

Dowman's achievement broke a record previously held by Reiss Nelson, surpassing even Bukayo Saka, who did not score for the U21s until age 17. This milestone adds to a series of impressive accomplishments for the teenager, who has already been named in Arsenal’s Champions League squad and was on the bench during a senior victory over Athletic Club.

Widely considered a generational talent, Dowman continues to break records at Arsenal, with expectations that he will achieve even more in the coming years.
