Liverpool Beat Tottenham as Arsenal's Max Dowman Matches Rooney Record at Ipswich
Liverpool eased into the Carabao Cup fourth round with a 3-1 win over Tottenham at Anfield, continuing Spurs' miserable start to the season, while at Ipswich, Arsenal's 16-year-old sensation Max Dowman stole the headlines with a stunning individual display in a 4-2 win.
Dowman scored twice and set up another in a man-of-the-match performance, matching a record held by Wayne Rooney for a two-goal haul in a match at that age. It continues a remarkable rise for the Hale End academy product, who is already the youngest-ever Premier League and Champions League player, with Mikel Arteta having promised the teenager more minutes this season provided they are earned.
Liverpool's win extended Tottenham's dismal run under Roberto De Zerbi, who left wantaway forward Richarlison out of the squad once again despite his eligibility for cup competition. Both results confirm Liverpool and Arsenal's places in Wednesday's fourth-round draw, which follows the conclusion of Manchester United's home tie against Brighton, one of three more all-Premier League ties on the night alongside Coventry vs Aston Villa and a rescheduled Everton vs Wolves.
