Max Dowman became Arsenal’s youngest ever goalscorer as he created one goal and then scored another to sink Everton in a 2-0 win at the Emirates.
The Gunners struggled to break down David Moyes’ side until Downman came off the bench and changed the game.
The 16-year-old delivered a cross which goalkeeper Jordan Pickford missed, leading to a tap-in for Viktor Gyokores. And Dowman finished it off with a run from his own half to score into an empty goal after Pickford had gone up for a corner.
It gave Arsenal a 10-point lead at the top of the table before Manchester City’s match at West Ham later on Saturday evening.
Viktor Gyokeres has this to say at full-time.
On Dowman: “It’s incredible, you can see how he plays, with no fear, and he’s in the right positions most of the time. He’s an amazing player, and I’m so happy.
On what the plan was, he says: “The plan that we talked about before the game, try and change the game and get the win.
“Every win is important, we try to do our best in our games and we’re in a good position.
“Come into games with the right attitude, together with a good atmosphere, I think we can achieve anything,” he added.
