'Dowman could win Premier League while still at school'

Ex-England striker Wayne Rooney has praised Max Dowman's impact after the Arsenal winger became the Premier League's youngest goalscorer - but wonders if the 16-year-old might have to focus on his GCSEs for the rest of the season.

The teenager scored in a 2-0 win over Everton that helped the Gunners move nine points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Rooney was once the Premier League's youngest scorer when he netted for Everton against Arsenal in 2002.

"He has got his GCSEs and his education, I'm sure for him and his family, is important as well," he said on The Wayne Rooney Show.
