16-year-old Max Dowman has set a new Premier League record, becoming the youngest player ever to score in the competition. At the moment he found the net, he was just 16 years and 73 days old.
This historic feat took place in a match against Everton, where the young midfielder struck deep into stoppage time, having come on as a substitute midway through the second half. His precise finish in added time sealed the final score at 2-0, securing victory for his team and etching his name into the annals of English football.
For the record, the previous benchmark belonged to James Vaughan, who scored for Everton in 2005 at the age of 16 years and 270 days. His achievement stood for more than two decades, but now the record has been rewritten—setting a new milestone for future generations at 16 years and 73 days.
