Arsenal youngster Max Dowman has added three Guinness World Records to his growing list of achievements as he continues his road to stardom.
Dowman will turn 17 this coming December but that has not stopped him from making a name for himself in the Arsenal team. The Englishman enjoyed a breakout season in 2025-26, making 13 senior appearances and scoring a memorable goal in the Premier League against Everton.
His goal against Everton saw him ran from his own half, beat two players and tapped into an empty net with Jordan Pickford having come up for a corner.
Dowman was just 16 years and 73 days old when he scored the goal, officially making him the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history.

The youngster had already broken another world record prior to that. At the age of 15 years and 308 days, he was introduced as a substitute in Arsenal’s 3-0 win at Slavia Prague and became the youngest player ever to make a Champions League appearance.
In fact, no 15-year-old other than him has ever played in the competition.
Arsenal won the 2025/26 Premier League season,their first league title since 2004, Dowman also made history by being part of the team.
Dowman collected his winner’s medal when he was 16 years and 144 days old — the youngest ever to do so.
Phil Foden was the previous holder of the award, as he was part of Manchester City’s 100-point team when he was just 17 years old.
Dowman narrowly missed out on a fourth world record last season having made his debut — and won a penalty — against Leeds United at 15 years and 235 days old, just under two months older than teammate Ethan Nwaneri was when he made his debut against Brentford in 2022.
The winger has continued his good form this season, scoring twice in Arsenal’s 4-2 Carabao Cup win over Ipswich in September.
Dowman will now be eager to make an impact when Arsenal welcome Leeds United on Saturday, their first match after the first international break of the season.
