Sixteen-year-old sensation Max Dowman became the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history, coming off the bench to secure a dramatic 2-0 victory for Arsenal over a resilient Everton side.
Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to ten points following a hard-fought 2-0 win against Everton.
After a frustrating afternoon at the Emirates, Mikel Arteta’s tactical gamble paid dividends as substitutes Viktor Gyokeres and Max Dowman struck late.
Gyokeres broke the deadlock in the 89th minute before Dowman doubled the lead in stoppage time to secure the vital points.
The victory marks a significant milestone for Dowman, who surpassed all previous records to become the league’s youngest-ever scorer.
Everton had threatened through Dwight McNeil, but the Gunners’ second-half intensity proved too much.
Arsenal now sit firmly in the driving seat for their first title in 22 years, with Arteta’s young squad showing the mental fortitude required to navigate a tense run-in.
