With victory all but secured, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta gave the nod to the substitutes’ bench. Changes were afoot, history would be made. . He is also the first 15-year-old to feature in an EPL game. Arsenal fans greeted the teenager’s appearance by chanting: “He’s going to school in the morning.” The midfielder eclipsed the record set by Harvey Elliott, who now plays for Liverpool, when he appeared for Fulham aged 16 years and 30 days in 2019.

Last month, he scored for England’s under 17s after coming off the bench. Arteta said after the match: “He has trained a couple of times with us and I had a feeling yesterday that if the opportunity came I would do it. “I think it sends a strong message about who we are as a club.
