Arsenal wonderkid Max Dowman sent off after sparking brawl against Fleetwood

Max Dowman was shown the first red card of his professional career in Arsenal’s Carabao Cup clash with Fleetwood on Tuesday.
The 16-year-old wonderkid was shown a straight red card in the final 10 minutes of the game after reacting to a heavy challenge from a Fleetwood opponent.
Dowman appeared to kick out at his rival after the tackle, causing both sets of players to rush over as a brawl broke out by the touchline.
Once the situation had calmed down, Dowman was shown a straight red card by the referee for his reaction to the tackle.
Dowman’s red card came after the game was paused inside the opening 10 minutes after an unauthorised drone was spotted hovering over the stadium.
