Arsenal have been known for their rising academy players becoming big stars, including some within their first team.
The latest sensation is 15-year-old Max Dowman, who made his Premier League debut this season against Leeds.
Dowman also made an appearance against Liverpool, which might have suggested the youngster would be a regular on Mikel Arteta’s bench.
In the latest Premier League 2 match, Dowman established himself in the league, breaking a record on his first start in the competition.
What record did Dowman break in the Premier League 2?
In his first start for Arsenal’s U-21 in the Premier League 2, Dowman netted his first goal to become the youngest ever scorer for Arsenal’s youth team.

Downman, who is 15 years, 263 days old, broke Reiss Nelson’s record from 2016. Nelson was 16 years, 57 days old when he netted for Arsenal’s U-21 side.
The goal came on Dowman’s second-ever appearance in the competition.
His PL2 appearance came as some surprise, since he’s been featured for Arsenal’s first team multiple times this season.
Dowman’s goal brought the Gunners level against Wolverhampton’s youth side, before Arsenal eventually took all three points in the 99th minute.
The 15-year-old has enjoyed a rapid rise to fame, which started with his debut for Arsenal’s U-18s at just 13 years old.
