Arsenal midfielder Wilshere putting smoking row behind him

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere says he's over his smoking controversy.

The 21-year-old was photographed smoking outside a London nightclub last week, with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger later criticising the England international.

Wilshere said: "I've learnt that you've just got to concentrate on your football.

"You're a footballer at the end of the day and when it comes to the weekend you've got to be ready.

"Players and young people make mistakes and I made a mistake.

"I spoke to the boss (Wenger) and we sorted it out and he put me in the team on Sunday and hopefully I repaid him with a goal so hopefully it's all done now."
