Arsenal continued their winning run in the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
The Gunners had to toil hard for the victory against the Merseyside outfit. The club had vast possession but struggled to register regular shots on target until the closing stages of the game.
Max Dowman made a massive difference coming off the bench in the 74th minute. The youngster had a passing accuracy of 92 percent, winning four duels and making four recoveries.
He also completed a couple of dribbles and turned the match with a tremendous cross for Piero Hincapie. The Ecuadorian ace subsequently assisted Viktor Gyokeres’ 89th-minute tap-in.
Dowman went on to create history by becoming the youngest ever to score in the Premier League.
Gyokeres’ initial clearance from a corner fell into the path of Gabriel Martinelli, who provided the assist for Dowman. The 16-year-old ran the length of the pitch to score after beating two Everton players.
Jordan Pickford went up for Everton’s last minute corner, which left Dowman with an open goal to find.
Shortly after the 2-0 win, Dowman took to Instagram to express his delight.
He posted: “A a night I’ll never forget”.
There were several replies from current and former players. Newcastle United goalkeeper and Gunners favourite Aaron Ramsdale was among those. He commented: ‘Super max’.
