<p>Arsenal began their 2024/25 Youth League campaign with a disappointing 4-1 loss to Atalanta, but it wasn't an entirely disappointing evening as 14-year-old Dowman broke three records. Gunners boss Max Portman gave Dowman the start in Italy making him the second-youngest debutant and the youngest starter in a Youth League clash.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🔴 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 ⚪️<br><br>🛡️ Kacurri &amp; Heaven at the back<br>💫 Dowman in the middle<br>🔥 Kabia in attack<br><br>Let's put on a good performance, Gunners 👊<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AFCU19?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AFCU19</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/UYL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#UYL</a> <a href="https://t.co/fG0IiRTnWm">pic.twitter.com/fG0IiRTnWm</a></p>— Arsenal Academy (@ArsenalAcademy) <a href="https://twitter.com/ArsenalAcademy/status/1836729453533409522?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 19, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Dowman also scored Arsenal's lone goal on the night early in the second half as he became the youngest goal scorer in the Youth League, beating the record set by 16-year-old Rin Ahmeti, one day earlier. Dowman was also highly praised by former <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/hasnt-started-gcses-arsenal-fast-track-14-year-old-prodigy-max-dowman-first-team-squad/blte1e6d209636a9060" target="_blank">Arsenal youth coach Jack Wilshere last season</a>, as he said the forward could easily be fast-tracked into the Mikel Arteta's side.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to the club media last season after Dowman's U-18s debut at the age of 13, Wilshere said: “There’s always a concern when fielding such a young player in these matches, but if you’re good enough you’re old enough.</p><p>“He can be more consistent but he’s only 14 and hasn’t even started his GCSEs yet."</p>

WHAT WILSHERE SAID

<p>The 14-year-old will have another chance to light up the Youth League when Arsenal take on Paris Saint-Germain at home on Tuesday, October 1 as the Gunners look for their first points.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR DOWMAN?
