ARSENAL fans are hailing Jack Wilshere with praise following their 1-0 Europa League win over Red Star Belgrade.
The injury-prone midfielder played an integral role in Olivier Giroud's late winner as the Gunners made it three wins in three in Europe. After spinning a Red Star midfielder, Wilshere played a delicate one-two with Theo Walcott, who flicked the ball into the path of the clinical Frenchman.
Giroud leaped into the air and sent the ball into the back of the net with an acrobatic over-head kick past the helpless goalkeeper Milan Borjan.
It looked although Arsene Wenger's men were going to settle for a point, before they snatched the win with five minutes left on the clock.
The England international will not get credited with the assist, but Arsenal fans swarmed Twitter with praise for the 25-year-old.... The England international scored a freakishly similar goal against Norwich on this day in 2013.
Since then, the midfielder has suffered a catalogue of injuries and has endured long spells on the sidelines at the Emirates.
At the start of the season, the 25-year-old's future with Arsenal looked uncertain after he failed to impress on loan to Bournemouth last term.
However, the midfield ace is being slowly reintroduced to the Arsenal first team under the management of Arsene Wenger. Wilshire created the majority of Arsenal's chances against the Serbian giants, but their efforts were not rewarded until the dying stages.
The Gunners will travel to Goodison Park on Sunday to face Everton, with Wilshire now certainly a strong option for the midfield.
