Arsenal’s Max Dowman equals Wayne Rooney record after Carabao Cup goals

  • Sixteen-year-old Max Dowman scored twice to inspire Arsenal to a 4-2 victory against Ipswich Town in the Carabao Cup third round.
  • Dowman opened the scoring with a solo goal after seven minutes at Portman Road before adding his second early in the second half.
  • Noni Madueke and stand-in captain Mikel Merino also found the net as Mikel Arteta's rotated side established a four-goal lead.
  • Ipswich rallied late with consolation goals from Anis Mehmeti and former Arsenal academy graduate Chuba Akpom.
  • Dowman became only the second 16-year-old to score a brace for a Premier League side since Wayne Rooney achieved the feat in 2002.
