Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hailed Max Dowman for his man-of-the-match performance in the FA Cup against Mansfield Town. Recall that the Gunners required a late intervention from substitute Eberechi Eze to secure their passage to the next round.
Reacting, Arteta hailed Dowman for his convincing display, stressing that he is super proud of the youngster’s bravery on the pitch.
The manager added that Max has proven that he has the required personality and the quality to thrive at Arsenal.
His words, “Well, very proud of him, very proud as well of Marli. Obviously, two 16-year-olds starting in the FA Cup. That tells us a lot about them, their personality and the quality that they have. And Max, I think he was exceptional.
Well, first of all, I congratulate them because to make their debut in the FA Cup, I think Max is the youngest ever in the competition. And this competition has been going for a while, so it tells you how difficult that is. I’m very proud of them, I hope they enjoy, Jaden [Dixon] the same with his debut. And to continue to work is just the first step for them and there’s plenty more to come.
Quality. Because when the ball is bouncing all over the place and you have people in your back, the way he handles time and space and the touches that he takes, it’s just incredible. Especially at the speed that he delivers those actions. But that tells you the talent that we have.”
WOW.
