• Thierry Henry issues stark warning to Arsenal over Max Dowman

  Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has praised teenage sensation Max Dowman after he became the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history, while warning the club to protect the “special talent” from excessive early pressure.

  ​Max Dowman, 16, stunned the Emirates on Saturday by slaloming past two defenders to score in Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Everton.

  The goal made him the youngest scorer in the Premier League era, leaving club icon Thierry Henry in awe.

  Henry admitted on Monday Night Football, “I get goosebumps, to be honest,” but added, “We also need to protect him, and not go too far too early.”

  ​Manager Mikel Arteta described Dowman as a “game-changer” who appeared unfazed by the global spotlight.

  Despite the clamor for more appearances, the teenager is expected to feature sparingly over the coming weeks to focus on his upcoming GCSE examinations.

  Fellow pundit Wayne Rooney supported this measured approach, noting that for a talent this young, “education first” remains the most important priority for his long-term development.

• Man City have been forced to accept new reality despite Pep Guardiola u-turn

  ​Manchester City’s pursuit of a fifth consecutive Premier League title stalled as they were held to a 1-1 draw at West Ham.

  The result leaves Pep Guardiola’s side nine points adrift of leaders Arsenal, who earlier defeated Everton.

  Despite the setback, Guardiola reversed his pre-match stance that dropping points would prove fatal. “No, it’s not over. We didn’t lose. We continue,” he told reporters post-match.

  ​The Blues have now surrendered leads in back-to-back games against bottom-half opposition, raising concerns about their legendary consistency.

  Midfielder Rodri admitted the squad is in a “process to come back,” acknowledging they are not currently the “unbelievable team” of years past.

  City must now pivot to a defining week featuring a Champions League clash with Real Madrid and a Carabao Cup final against Arsenal.

• Pep Guardiola changes tune on Man City’s title race hopes after Arsenal steal march

  Pep Guardiola has insisted Manchester City’s title defense remains alive after a 1-1 draw with West Ham left them trailing league leaders Arsenal by nine points with a game in hand.

  ​Pep Guardiola has performed a swift U-turn on Manchester City’s title prospects following a frustrating 1-1 draw at West Ham.

  Despite previously claiming “if we drop points, it will be over,” the Spaniard struck a defiant tone after former Gunner Konstantinos Mavropanos canceled out Bernardo Silva’s opener.

  “No, it’s not over. We didn’t lose. We continue,” Guardiola told TNT Sports from the stands.

  ​City’s recent dip coincides with a goal drought for Erling Haaland, who missed several key chances in London.

  Guardiola admitted the team’s reliance on the Norwegian, stating, “Erling, we need his goals… He will be back.”

  The champions now face a pivotal week, hosting Real Madrid in the Champions League before meeting Arsenal at Wembley for the Carabao Cup final.

• Liverpool’s ruthlessness problem highlighted by Arne Slot after mid-week loss

  Arne Slot has identified Liverpool’s inability to capitalize on chances as a primary factor in their inconsistent season, with statistics confirming the Reds possess the Premier League’s lowest shot-on-target ratio.

  ​Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has criticized his team’s lack of ruthlessness following a 1-0 Champions League loss to Galatasaray.

  Despite dominating possession, the Reds failed to convert crucial opportunities.

  “You have to give credit to the way when they get a chance they play it like it’s the last chance of their lives,” Slot remarked. “It’s definitely something we can learn from.”

  ​Statistical data supports Slot’s frustration, revealing only 28.7% of Liverpool’s shots have been on target this season—the lowest in the Premier League.

  While the club ranks second for total attempts, their “big chance” conversion rate of 32.6% trails significantly behind top-four rivals Chelsea and Manchester City.

  Slot warned that this mental fragility has repeatedly allowed struggling opponents to eke out unexpected results.
