Dowman nominated for EFL Carabao Cup third-round Player of the Round after scoring two goals in Arsenal’s 4-2 win at Ipswich.
At 16 years, eight months and 15 days, Dowman became the youngest player to score a brace for a Premier League club in any competition.
# Summary
Max Dowman has been nominated by the EFL for the League Cup (Carabao Cup) third-round Player of the Round following Arsenal's 4-2 win away to Ipswich Town. Dowman scored both the opening and a second goal in that match, which led to his shortlisting alongside Bournemouth's Ryan Christie, Crystal Palace's Jorgen Strand Larsen and Manchester City's Floyd Samba. Public voting for the award is open.
# Why Dowman was nominated
# The record he set
By scoring two goals in that match, Dowman became the youngest player to score a brace for a Premier League club in any competition. The previous comparable case was Wayne Rooney, who scored twice for Everton in 2002 at 16 years, 11 months and seven days. Dowman's documented age during the Ipswich match was 16 years, eight months and 15 days, which makes his brace younger by that measure.
