Dowman was dismissed in the 85th minute after reacting to a heavy challenge from Harrison Neal. The teenager had previously been sent off while representing England Under-19s in a match against the United States. Arteta warned Dowman before the Fleetwood game about handling provocation and defended his reaction to the teenager's dismissal, stating that their relationship and conversation before the match should be considered. He further emphasized that Arsenal looks after Dowman but will demand the same standards as other experienced players. Arteta also acknowledged the competitive nature of professional football and the emotions his players must face when results are not in their favor.",
