Arsenal cruised to a thumping 5-0 victory over Leeds United to make it two wins out of two at the start of the Premier League campaign.

Mikel Arteta’s side were frustrated at the start of the game before Jurrien Timber and Bukayo Saka put the Gunners 2-0 up at half time.

Viktor Gyokeres opened his Premier League account just after half time before Timber scored his second following another scramble from a corner.

Gyokeres scored a late penalty after 15-year-old Max Dowman was brought down in the box. Arsenal supporters have reacted to a historic moment for the youngster.

Arsenal fans are in awe of Max Dowman’s performance against Leeds United

Dowman broke Arsenal history even before the game started by becoming the first player under the age of 16 to be involved in a squad at the Emirates Stadium.

He replaced Noni Madueke in the 64th minute and Arsenal supporters have taken to X to wax lyrical about the Hale End star’s display.

One fan wrote: “Dowman’s first touch is making me cry I can’t believe this is my football club.”

Another fan wrote: “Dowman moves like a mad man. He fears no one. Love him.” Whilst another Gooner simply wrote: “Max Dowman remember the name.”

One Arsenal supporter has already noticed a tactical trend involving the young winger, they wrote: “The trust they have in Dowman already is pretty impressive. Some sort of plan to isolate him out 1v1 on that side.”

Max Dowman’s match statistics v Leeds United

He may only have been on the pitch for just over 25 minutes but Dowman stole the show on a night where Gyokeres scored a brace on his home Premier League debut.

Dowman was a constant outlet on the right flank and his balance and poise on the ball took your breath away as he battled defenders almost double his age.

With injuries picked up to Saka and Martin Odegaard during the game, Dowman has certainly shown that he is capable of playing a part for the first-team this season.

Anfield may be a step too soon for the 15-year-old but he is a talent that is ready to take the footballing world by storm. Arteta may even have a challenge in holding him back.
