Max Dowman, 15, Becomes Arsenal U21s’ Youngest PL2 Scorer in Comeback Win

The club is pacing the 15-year-old’s rise through controlled minutes across youth plus senior settings.

Overview

  • Arsenal U21s beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-2 at Meadow Park after trailing 2-0, with Dowman equalising in the 65th minute.
  • The midfielder marked his first competitive U21 start by scoring at 15 years and 263 days, surpassing Reiss Nelson as the club’s youngest PL2 goalscorer.
  • Dowman played 74 minutes as part of a managed schedule following recent first‑team involvement and Champions League squad inclusion.
  • Andre Harriman-Annous, 17, scored twice, including a 99th‑minute penalty, to seal the turnaround.
  • Given his U21 outing on Saturday, reports indicate he is unlikely to feature against Manchester City on Sunday as Mikel Arteta assesses senior availability.
