Max Dowman's performance at Fleetwood showed he's not quite ready for Arsenal yet
Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readMax Dowman may not be fully ready for regular Arsenal action just yet
From the source
Max Dowman was sent off in Arsenal's embarrasing defeat to Fleetwood Town as he was given his marching orders in the final minutes of a 1-1 draw that ended in the hosts conquering the Premier League champions in a penalty shootout.
The 16-year-old's dismissal was one of the key talking points as the Gunners suffered one of the biggest cup upsets of all time, and arguably the worst to ever happen in the League Cup.
Many quickly came to his defence, especially after Mikel Arteta appeared to angrily shout at Dowman on his way to the dressing room and the red card was deemed harsh by most fans and pundits.
