What happened. Max Dowman scored twice and set up another on his first Arsenal appearance of the season in the Carabao Cup at Ipswich. The 16-year-old opened the scoring with a skilful finish, added a second after combining with Martin Zubimendi, and teed up Mikel Merino for Arsenal's fourth.

• Dowman has been at Arsenal since the age of eight.
• Ipswich boss Gary O'Neil believes North London suits the youngster.
• He combined with Martin Zubimendi for his second goal.

Dowman's display strengthens the case that Arsenal is the right place for his rapid rise.
