Max Dowman is used to grabbing headlines for producing moments of magic but, after being sent off in just his second start of the season as Arsenal suffered a shock loss to Fleetwood Town, the 16-year-old is facing the first test of his short career.

Dowman scored twice as Arsenal beat Ipswich in the previous round of the Carabao Cup and manager Mikel Arteta rewarded him with another start in the last-16 tie at Fleetwood.

And this one was perhaps more of a chance than it looked. Arsenal are currently light on options in the wing with Bukayo Saka, Christos Tzolis and Noni Madueke all injured.
