👶 Max Dowman sets new PL record on Arsenal's crowning day | OneFootball

Arsenal are set to officially be crowned champions of England this afternoon, as Mikel Arteta's Gunners close out the 2025/26 season at Crystal Palace.

While fans across the globe are still in a celebratory mood after the club ended their 22-year trophy drought thanks to Manchester City's 1-1 draw at Bournemouth on Tuesday, there's now further cause for joy.

With Arteta's team heavily rotated in the run-up to their Champions League final showdown against French giant Paris Saint-Germain, teenage sensation Max Dowman has been included in the Gunners team.

And with that, the England youth international has become the youngest-ever starter of a Premier League fixture (16 years and 144 days old), building on his budding reputation in the country.

Has Hale End come through to give Arsenal another bright talent to build around after Bukayo Saka and Myles Lewis-Skelly? Many certainly think so.
