Max Dowman scored twice as Arsenal eased to a Carabao Cup third-round victory at Ipswich Town.<\/p>\n
The 16-year-old was one of two youngsters making their first appearance of the season from the start, alongside centre-back Marli Salmon, 17.<\/p>\n
Dowman opened the scoring with a fine solo goal in the seventh minute. He won the ball in midfield, played a one-two with Eberechi Eze and ran through, leaving two defenders on the ground, before sending the goalkeeper the wrong way.<\/p>\n
Noni Madueke rifled in their second effort following Mikel Merino’s flicked ball over the top.<\/p>\n
And after the break Dowman showed good composure to control Martin Zubimendi’s pass before rolling the ball into the far bottom corner.<\/p>\n
Merino fired in Arsenal’s fourth goal off the inside of the post.<\/p>\n
Ipswich scored twice, through Anis Mehmeti’s finish from Jack Clarke’s pass and Chuba Akpom’s tidy turn and finish – but it was far too little and too late.<\/p>\n
As is the norm these days, both sides put out heavily rotated starting line-ups – with a combined 19 changes from their weekend Premier League matches.<\/p>\n
Arsenal – who have won every game this season – will discover their fourth-round opponents on Wednesday, with the draw after Manchester United’s tie against Brighton (kick-off 20:00 BST).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Max Dowman scored twice as Arsenal eased to a Carabao Cup third-round victory at Ipswich Town.
