Arsenal ace Wilshere shrugs off rough QPR tackling

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere had no problem with QPR's tackling during his winning comeback.

Wilshere had to deal with plenty of robust challenges from a hard-working QPR midfield of Samba Diakite and Esteban Granero, and the England international would not have it any other way.

"That's part of my game. If I ever lost that then I wouldn't be the player that I was before so it was important to come through that," he said.

"To be honest, when I first started training it did go through my head, but then from the first tackle I was fine.

"Even the boss said to me the other day that I have got to calm down a bit, so there is no problem there."
