Max Dowman becomes the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history

Arsenal’s Max Dowman became the youngest player to score in a Premier League match after finding the back of the net in his side’s 2-0 win over Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

He came off the bench in the second half and impressed with a cross into the penalty area for the first goal, scored by Viktor Gyokeres, before running the length of the pitch and tucking the ball into an empty net to end the match in extra time.

At 16 years and 73 days, he broke the record of Everton’s James Vaughan, who was 16 years and 270 days when he scored against Crystal Palace in the 2004-05 season.
