Arsenal Teenager Max Dowman Secures Three Guinness World Records

Arsenal winger Max Dowman has set three Guinness World Records, including becoming the youngest Premier League goalscorer at 16 years and 73 days old.

Arsenal winger Max Dowman has officially secured three Guinness World Records following a breakout 2025-26 season in which he made 13 senior appearances. According to ESPN, Dowman became the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history at 16 years and 73 days old after scoring a clinching goal against Everton. During that play, he ran from his own half and bypassed two defenders to score into an empty net while goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was upfield for a corner.

Dowman also established a record as the youngest player to appear in the UEFA Champions League. He was introduced as a substitute during Arsenal's 3-0 victory over Slavia Prague at the age of 15 years and 308 days, making him the only 15-year-old to ever play in the competition. Additionally, the winger became the youngest player to receive a Premier League winner's medal at 16 years and 144 days old, surpassing the previous mark held by Manchester City's Phil Foden.

The teenager debuted for the club against Leeds United at 15 years and 235 days old, a match in which he won a penalty. While this debut occurred roughly two months later than teammate Ethan Nwaneri’s record-setting appearance in 2022, Dowman has continued his form into the current campaign by scoring two goals in a 4-2 Carabao Cup win against Ipswich in September. Arsenal is scheduled to face Leeds at home this Saturday following the international break.
