Arsenal U18 coach Jack Wilshere was delighted with Max Dowman in their victory over Fulham.

Dowman, 14, produced four assists in the 5-2 win.

Wilshere told the club's website: "There's always a concern when fielding such a young player in these matches, but if you're good enough you're old enough.

"He can be more consistent but he's only 14 and hasn't even started his GCSEs yet.

"We need to find a balance of letting him play and enjoy because of his age but also trying to get as much work into him as we can."
