Max Dowman failing to earn red card reprieve is a blessing in disguise for Arsenal
Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readMax Dowman's red card for Arsenal against Fleetwood will not be overturned.
From the source
Sometimes in life, you need to receive a harsh punishment to learn an important lesson. Arsenal's teenage prodigy, Max Dowman, is on course for a case of this after he was sent off on Tuesday night against Fleetwood Town at Highbury.
The teenager spent much of the game on the periphery due to the Lancashire outfit's aggressive approach to man-marking him, and unsurprisingly, he grew frustrated.
This frustration seemingly boiled over in the 85th minute with an act of minor petulance from the 16-year-old. A reckless tackle from Fleetwood midfielder Harrison Neal prompted Dowman to angrily weave his trapped leg in towards the League Two player.
