Arsenal teenager Max Dowman has been presented with three Guinness World Records certificates after a historic breakthrough season that saw him set records in the UEFA Champions League and Premier League.
Dowman, who is 16, holds the records for being the youngest player to appear in the Champions League, the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history and the youngest player to win the English top-flight title.
The first record came on November 4, 2025, when Dowman appeared for Arsenal against Slavia Prague in the Champions League at the age of 15 years and 308 days. His appearance made him the youngest player ever to feature in the competition, surpassing the previous record.
Dowman then made Premier League history on March 14, 2026, when he scored during Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Everton at Emirates Stadium. At 16 years and 73 days, he became the youngest goalscorer in the competition's history.
The goal came after Dowman had established himself as one of Arsenal's emerging young players. His finish against Everton added another milestone to a campaign in which he continued to make appearances for the first team.
His third record followed at the end of the 2025/26 Premier League season. Arsenal secured the title, with Dowman qualifying for a winners' medal after making enough league appearances during the campaign.
At 16 years and 144 days, he became the youngest player to win the Premier League title, taking the record previously held by Manchester City great Phil Foden.
The three achievements have now been formally recognised by Guinness World Records, with Dowman receiving certificates for each record. The recognition underlines the scale of his rise from Arsenal's academy into senior football at an exceptionally young age.
Dowman's records also place him among a new generation of teenage players making an early impact at the highest level of European football. With all three milestones achieved before his 17th birthday, the Arsenal youngster has already established a unique place in the club's recent history.
