Arsenal youngster Max Dowman delivered another impressive performance as the Gunners secured a 3-2 victory over Newcastle United in a pre-season friendly match played in Singapore on Sunday.
Dowman, who had previously earned significant praise for his skill, movement, and passing ability during Arsenal's 1-0 win against AC Milan, continued to showcase his exceptional talent on the pitch.
Newcastle took an early lead through new signing Anthony Elanga, who managed a scruffed finish to put the Magpies ahead. However, Arsenal responded with two quick goals to turn the game around.
Mikel Merino equalized with a controlled finish before an Alex Murphy own goal gave Arsenal the advantage. Jacob Murphy then came off the bench to level the score at 2-2 for Newcastle.
The decisive moment came when Dowman was fouled in the penalty area, allowing Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard to convert from the spot and secure the 3-2 win for the Gunners.
This victory continues Arsenal's positive momentum in their pre-season campaign as they prepare for the upcoming Premier League season under manager Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal fans will be particularly encouraged by Dowman's performances, with the youngster making a strong case for inclusion in the first-team plans for the 2025/26 season.
The Gunners' next pre-season fixture will see them face North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday, adding extra significance to their preparation schedule.
