What happened. Arsenal beat Ipswich Town 4-2 in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday night, with 16-year-old Max Dowman scoring twice. Noni Madueke and Mikel Merino also found the net for Mikel Arteta's side.

Dowman is the second 16-year-old to score twice in a game for a Premier League side, after Wayne Rooney.
He became the Premier League's youngest-ever goalscorer with a strike in March's 2-0 win over Everton.
The forward made his top-flight debut as a 64th-minute substitute in Arsenal's 5-0 win over Leeds United.

Dowman's breakout display strengthens his case for more first-team minutes under Mikel Arteta this season.
