Max Dowman becomes the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history

On March 14, 2026, Arsenal defeated Everton 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium during the 30th matchday of the Premier League. The goals were scored by Gyokeres and 16-year-old Max Dowman. Dowman's goal in the 90+7th minute, scored while Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was away from his net, made him the youngest goalscorer in the history of the league at 16 years and 73 days old. The English teenager previously set a record in November by becoming the youngest player to appear in the Champions League at 15 years and 308 days old during a match against Slavia Prague. Following this victory, Arsenal extended its lead at the top of the Premier League table to nine points over second-placed Manchester City. The club is currently pursuing its first league title since 2004.
