Arsenal's teenage midfielder Max Dowman has broken the record for the youngest scorer in the Premier League history. The 16-year-old netted the winner against Everton on Saturday, surpassing the mark set by former Ipswich Town striker Jamie Dozzell 40 years ago. Dozzell, who scored for Ipswich at 16 years and 57 days old, acknowledges Dowman's talent but warns of the pressures that come with early fame. 'Records are there to be broken,' Dozzell told the BBC, praising Dowman's composure and balance. 'He's going to ride this wave,' he added, reflecting on his own experience after his record-breaking debut goal in 1984.
