Arsenal's pragmatic, win-first approach under Mikel Arteta continues to deliver results, and teenager Max Dowman's maiden Premier League goal adds swagger to a season defined by efficiency over aesthetics.
Arsenal defeated Everton 2-0 at the Emirates thanks to late heroics from 16-year-old substitute Max Dowman: his cross set up Viktor Gyokeres for the opener, and Dowman then sprinted the length of the pitch to score a second, making him the youngest Premier League scorer at 16 years and 73 days and keeping Arsenal’s title challenge on track.

Mikel Arteta praised 15-year-old Max Dowman's impressive performance in Arsenal's win over AC Milan, highlighting the environment and support that enable young players to perform at high levels, while also noting the need for gradual integration into first-team football due to physical demands.
