Dowman’s brace
Dowman opened the scoring in the seventh minute. He won the ball in the centre of the pitch, played a one-two with Eberechi Eze, beat two defenders and overcame the goalkeeper. Noni Madueke scored Arsenal’s second goal after a pass from Mikel Merino, who flicked the ball forward.
After the break, Dowman received a pass from Martin Zubimendi and struck into the far bottom corner. Later, Merino scored Arsenal’s fourth goal, hitting the inside of the post.

Both teams made significant changes to their starting line-ups compared with their Premier League matches at the weekend — 19 changes in total.

According to MyJoyOnline, Dowman became the second 16-year-old player for a Premier League team to score two goals in one match in any competition.
