Arsenal hero Keown: Wilshere performance what mere mortals only dream of

Arenal hero Martin Keown was delighted for Jack Wilshere after his five-star performance in victory at Europa League opponents Red Star Belgrade.

Wilshere provided Theo Walcott with a clever ball to flick on for Olivier Giroud for Arsenal's only goal of the game as they beat Red Star Belgrade away on Thursday.

"It's the brilliance of Wilshere, punching a hole in midfield, seeing what mere mortals can only dream of," Keown told BT Sport.

Keown said that Wilshere is starting to get back to the top of his game.

He added: "It's a platform for Wilshere to prove fitness and ability. The saying behind scenes is that Jack is playing better than ever in training."
