What a game! What an ending! Teenage kicks!
For 88 minutes this had the aroma of one of those afternoons when football decides to be deeply annoying. Arsenal shot often, Pickford stretched occasionally, and Everton threatened just enough to make everyone chew the furniture.
Then chaos arrived.
A scuffed pinball in the box fell kindly for Viktor Gyokeres who accepted the gift like a man finding a tenner in an old coat. Relief all round.
Then came the real theatre. Sixteen year old Max Dowman decided the moment suited him perfectly. One bouncing ball, two bewildered defenders, seventy yards of green grass and a calm finish into an empty net. Child does homework early. Back to double Latin vocab Monday morning, lad.
Football is ridiculous and glorious in equal measure.
Onwards and upwards, my friends.
