Player Ratings: Arsenal U19s 3-4 Atletico Madrid U19s as Max Dowman scores two penalties 

Max Dowman scored twice for Arsenal U19s - find out who impressed for the Young Guns during their clash with Atletico Madrid U19s 

Arsenal lost 4-3 against Atletico Madrid during their UEFA Youth League clash at Meadow Park on Tuesday lunchtime. 

Despite Max Dowman netting two penalties, the Young Guns fell to a last-minute winner to the Spanish vistors.  

Harrison Dudziak put the Young Gunners ahead early on before Atletico's No8 Sergio Vinatea levelled for the visitors.

That was before 15-year-old teenage prodigy Max Dowman coolly slotted home his penalty, to put the Young Guns 2-1 before half time. 

As if to underline his quality, Dowman played a superb ball through to Andre Annous moments before the interval, whose shot struck the Atletico keeper’s head before flying the wrong side of the post.

Undeterred, the visitors struck with two goals in as many mintues after the break, first with  No9 Sergio Esteban successfully scoring his penalty on 55 minutes, prior to Madrid U19 substitute Ruben Gomez puts his side 3-2 ahead, as he and his teammates celebrated wildly. 

Dowman then scored his second penalty of the match, to level the scores at 3-3.

However, practically from the kick-off, Madrid's U19 Jesus Barrios put the visitors ahead once again a matter of moments after Dowman’s second spot kick of the game to make it 4-3 to the visitors.

Arsenal U19s Player Ratings

Jack Porter: 7/10 - A dependable performance. Displayed excellent handling skills in challenging conditions during bouts of heavy rain. Couldn’t really be blamed for the goals

Harrison Dudziak: 7.5/10 - Showed composure when scoring Arsenal’s opening goal. Earned his round of applause after making way for Callan Hamill ten minutes after the interval

Osman Kamara: 7/10 – Replaced by Louis Zecevic John midway through the second half with the Young Guns reeling after two goals in a matter of minutes put the visitors 3-2 ahead

William Sweet: 7/10 - A solid presence along the backline

Marcell Washington: 7/10 - Solid in the air, and on the desk when required and not afraid to play it long. Showed excellent timing with his tackles

Max Dowman: 8/10 - How far can this precociously talented 15-year-old go? The sky is the limit for such a phenomenal talent. Took his penalty calmly to put the Young Guns 2-1 ahead midway through the first half, then did the same in the secodn half. Mikel Arteta's first team squad member underlined his excellent temperement by looking so disappointed at losing at U19 match at the final whistle 

Andre Annous: 7/10 - Superb ball through from Max Dowman to the Gunners striker, whose shot struck the Atletico keeper’s head before flying the wrong side of the post moments before half time. Never stopped working hard 

Ife Ibrahim: 7/10 - tests Daniel Rubio with a shot from the edge of the arena that the Atletico keeper gathers easily

Brando Bailey-Joseph: 6.5/10 - Not as influential as he would have liked given his talent 

Josiah King: 7/10 - Put in a shift 

Marli Salmon: 7/10 - Showed his quality against Atletico’s young attack, which was unsurprising given the England U16 international had already been granted a taste with the first team squad this summer, when Mikel Arteta took the talented 16-year-old on the club’s Asia tour

Substitutes:

Callan Hamill on for Dudziak ten minutes after the interval

Joshua Ogunnaike replaced Washington on 65 minutes
