Live updates from the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal host Brighton in the Carabao Cup.
Mikel Arteta on Max Dowman’s reaction to being selected for his history-making first Arsenal start:
“A tiny smile, that’s what you get with him. For him everything is natural, for him everything is okay, it’s the way he plays. I think that’s the secret, that he doesn’t make a big fuss of it, he just does what he does best, which is to play football, to play football with a lot of courage and determination, and today again he’s shown some incredible skill, some capacity to run past players at that level in the Premier League at 15. It’s something definitely special.”
