Arsenal booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup with a 2-0 victory at home to Brighton on Wednesday. Second-half goals from Ethan Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka saw Mikel Arteta's men into the next round, with several young players impressing for the Gunners after weathering an early Seagulls storm.

Max Dowman made Arsenal history in their Carabao Cup clash with fellow Premier League side Brighton. Mikel Arteta made wholesale changes for their meeting with the Seagulls as the Gunners look to secure their place in the next round of the competition as the likes of Kepa, Ben White and Piero Hincapie come into the side. However, it's Dowman's inclusion that will go down in the record books.

The positive news keeps coming for high-flying Arsenal after they secured a deal to keep youngster Max Dowman at the Emirates. The Gunners are sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League and are joint top of the Champions League table after demolishing Atletico Madrid 4-0 earlier this week. And the future’s looking bright after nailing down Dowman to a long-term deal.

Arsenal wonderkid Max Dowman scored twice in Europe for the Under-19s as the junior Gunners succumbed to a 4-3 loss at the hands of Atletico Madrid on Tuesday in the UEFA Youth League. At just 15 years of age, Dowman is considered one of the brightest prospects in Europe and has already started to play under Mikel Arteta with the senior squad this season.

Arsenal star Cristhian Mosquera has told the Gunners they already have their very own Lamine Yamal within their ranks. The Barcelona teenager has thrilled the world since bursting onto the scene as a 15-year-old at Camp Nou. Yamal has already won La Liga and Copa del Rey titles with Barcelona, as well as the European Championship with Spain, and finished second to Ousmane Dembele at the 2025 Ballon d'Or awards.
