Arsenal teenager Max Dowman has been given three official Guinness World Records certificates for new marks he set in English and European football.
Guinness World Records announced it online on Thursday, celebrating his fast rise with the Arsenal first team.
Dowman, who turns 17 in December, is the youngest player to appear in the UEFA Champions League.
He did it against Slavia Prague at 15 years and 308 days.
He is also the youngest Premier League goalscorer, after scoring against Everton at 16 years and 73 days.
His third record is the youngest player to win the Premier League.
He collected his winner's medal at 16 years and 144 days after Arsenal secured the title.
He made 13 senior appearances in the 2025-26 season as the club won its first league title since 2004.
His record goal against Everton came after he ran from his own half, beat two players and finished into an empty net while goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was up for a corner.
He has kept up the form this season, scoring twice in Arsenal's 4-2 Carabao Cup win over Ipswich in September.
He is also featured in the Guinness World Records Football Edition 2027, released on Thursday, as part of its Class of 27.
