Arteta believes Arsenal need to be more 'chaotic' despite victory vs. Hull (0:32)

Max Dowman has broken yet another record, as he is now officially the youngest ever player to represent England's under-21s.

The Arsenal teenager came on as a second-half substitute in England's 1-0 defeat to Portugal in a friendly on Friday at Bristol City's Ashton Gate.

Aged 16 years, 10 months and 13 days, Doeman has eclipsed Jude Bellingham who had claimed the record in 2020 when he played for England against Kosovo aged 17 years, two months and six days.

In his burgeoning career, Dowman has broken a number of records.

When Arsenal won the Premier League title last season, Dowman was handed his winner's medal at 16 years and 144 days old -- making him the youngest player to win the Premier League.

He also became the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history when he scored against Everton at 16 years and 73 days old.

Last season, he also became the youngest ever player to make a Champions League appearance at the age of 15 years and 308 days.

Dowman is currently serving a domestic ban after picking up a red card in Arsenal's shock Carabao Cup defeat to Fleetwood Town.

Afonso Moreira's first-half strike was enough to earn Portugal's under-21s a victory over England on Friday.

Lee Carsley's side have now suffered successive defeats for the first time since March 2021 following their loss to the Republic of Ireland in their last European Championship qualifying match in October.
