New Headline: "Mercedes-Merit Edge in Final Formula Showdown as Rosberg Captures Victory

Despite Dowman making his Premier League debut at 15 against Leeds United in August and becoming the youngest player in Champions League history against Slavia Prague in November, it was in those 23 minutes against Everton that Dowman announced himself to the wider world. This got The Athletic thinking about the other young players who declared themselves stars on the big stage with one huge performance. Here, our writers pick their favourites.

And please let us know yours in the comments below. Robbie Keane, Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Norwich City, 1997 Everyone who was at Carrow Road on August 9, 1997, knew a superstar had been born. In the pre-internet age, only diehard Wolverhampton Wanderers fans knew about Irish lad Keane, who had scored 36 goals for the youth team the previous year.

The 17-year-old was better than the adults in pre-season, so manager Mark McGhee put him into the team at Norwich City for the first game of the season. Keane scored both goals in a 2-0 win, the first a stunning volley with his weaker foot, the second a drag-back and poke through the keeper’s legs, leaving four players on their backsides. His mother, Anne, nearly fell over the balcony celebrating in the posh seats, the Norwich fans applauded and McGhee called Keane “mesmerising”.

The teenager celebrated with a special family meal out and drank blackcurrant and lemonade. Three years later, Keane was playing for Inter. Tim Spiers Mohamed Salah, Al Mokawloon vs Al Ahly, 2010 Before December 25, 2010, only a minority in Egypt — never mind the world — knew who Mohamed Salah was.
