Arsenal 2-0 Everton (Dowman 90+7)<\/p>\n Arsenal counter\u2026 and Dowman, who has dribbled half the length of the field, coolly sends the ball into an empty net! He is just 16.

Pickford\u2019s going up!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+4 min Arsenal dawdle over the corner, then send the ball all the way back to Raya. He goes long, so does Pickford, and Barry\u2019s knock-down ends up back with Raya. Moyes has one last sub, Tyrique George. Everton<\/a> have a free kick but Gabriel heads it away.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+3 min The crowd are singing again, warming up for their next rendition of North London Forever. Martinelli has a long shot, tipped over by Pickford.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+1 min There will be six minutes of added time. And Arsenal<\/a> are ten points clear at the top, largely thanks to Max Dowman, who is too young to celebrate with a pint afterwards.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL!!!! Arsenal 1-0 Everton (Gyokeres 89)<\/p>\n Sure enough. Dowman whips in a lovely cross, Hincapi\u00e9 knocks it down, and Gyokeres has an open goal.<\/p>\n Gyokeres celebrates with Dowman after scoring.

Total shots: Arsenal 22-8 Everton<\/a>. Shots on target: 4-3. Clear-cut chances: 0-0.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.18 EDT<\/p>\n 86 min Iroegbunam is taken off, along with McNeil. Both have done well but Moyes wants fresh legs, so they give way to Armstrong and Rohl.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 85 min Free kick to Arsenal just inside the Everton<\/a> half. They work the ball sideways yet again. Eze has it near the D, but Iroegbunam is too quick for him and wins a free kick.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 83 min Dewsbury-Hall wiggles into the box, only to be coolly dispossessed by Rice. Then Arsenal<\/a> race upfield and there\u2019s a shot from Dowman, over the bar.<\/p>\n Dowman reacts after missing a chance.

The thousandth is a wild cross by Martinelli which goes straight out for a goal kick.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 80 min Saka has shifted inside and Dowman is playing on the right, with brio.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 79 min The cameras go looking for worried faces with red-and-white scarves attached. They\u2019re spoilt for choice.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.09 EDT<\/p>\n 77 min So Declan Rice is now Arsenal\u2019s only holding midfielder, with Dowman and Eze ahead of him. These two combine immediately as Dowman goes on a run and finds Eze, whose shot is blocked. Soon Eze has another shot, from distance, which is palmed away by Pickford \u2013 but the flag is up.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 74 min Arteta, who can be defensive, decides to go for broke. He removes Zubimendi and sends on Max Dowman, aged 16. As if already wondering whether that\u2019s too dashing, he also sends on Hincapi\u00e9 for Calafiori \u2013 who was terrific.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 73 min Chance! Everton<\/a> win a free kick on the left. Garner whips it in nicely, an Arsenal head deflects it and it just squeezes past the far post.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 72 min Everton<\/a> have conceded only 33 goals on the road this season. But can they hold out for 20 more minutes?

Meanwhile Max Dowman is warming up.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 67 min As the ball ricochets around after the corner, Ndiaye tries to spin past Saka, who gets a solid tackle in. Poacher turned gamekeeper.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 67 min Mykolenko goes on the overlap, possibly for the first time. He wins a corner.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 66 min That was Arsenal\u2019s 18th shot of the game, to Everton\u2019s seven. But it\u2019s still even Stevens for shots on target: 3-3.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 65 min Shot! From Eze. It beats Pickford\u2019s dive but whistles past the far post.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 64 min Gyokeres is set free down the left, but finds himself well shepherded. This makeshift Everton<\/a> back four has done very well so far.<\/p>\n O’Brien grapples with Gyokeres.

This does feel like the kind of game Gyokeres will fancy.<\/p>\n
