Arsenal winger Max Dowman made history on March 14, 2026, by becoming the youngest-ever Premier League goalscorer at just 16 years.
The record-breaking moment came during stoppage time in Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Everton at the Emirates Stadium, where he capped off a sensational 75-yard breakaway to secure the win. The goal, assisted by Gabriel Martinelli, followed Viktor Gyökeres’ 89th-minute opener and sent the home crowd into raptures as Dowman etched his name into English football history.
Dowman, who joined the Arsenal academy in 2015 at the age of eight, has enjoyed a meteoric rise through the club’s youth ranks. His senior debut season has seen him make seven appearances across all competitions, with his first goal arriving dramatically against Everton. The Premier League officially confirmed Dowman as the competition’s youngest scorer, surpassing the previous record held by James Vaughan since 2005.
The young attacker continues to break barriers, having already set a record in November 2025 as the UEFA Champions League’s youngest-ever player at 15 years and 308 days.
