Burnley striker Jay Rodriguez believes he can continue to benefit from the "education" he is receiving from manager Owen Coyle.

The 19-year-old, who scored his first goal for the club in the midweek Carling Cup victory over Fulham, has played with Coyle in the reserves.

"He is a forward and you can learn a lot from the experience he's had," Rodriguez told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"I just want to keep playing and keep scoring, hopefully."

And Coyle was keen to praise the youngster.

"For a young kid to come on and show the level of composure, to shape and to shoot and turn round and sell the goalkeeper with a dummy and roll it into the net, then it must be a great feeling for him.

"I'm delighted for him because he's worked so hard and earned his chance, and he's deserving of it."
