'Something special' - Dowman makes history for Arsenal

Another day, another record for 15-year-old Max Dowman. But Arsenal's teenage prodigy is taking everything in his stride, according to his manager Mikel Arteta, BBC reported.

The winger had already written himself into Arsenal's history books by becoming the second-youngest player to represent the club and second-youngest to play in the Premier League - with team-mate Ethan Nwaneri holding both records.

But on Wednesday Dowman became the youngest player - at 15 years and 302 days old - to start a match for Arsenal as he starred in the EFL Cup win over Brighton, according to BBC.

Dowman made his Premier League debut off the bench in Arsenal's 5-0 win over Leeds in August - but his talent has had everyone at the club excited for a long time.
