Arsenal's Wilshere admits smoking was a mistake

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has admitted he made a mistake by being photographed outside a London nightclub smoking a cigarette. Despite the incident Wilshere was recalled to Arsenal's starting line-up for Sunday's 1-1 draw at West Brom, scoring the equalising goal which took Arsenal back to the top of the Barclays Premier League table.

"Players make mistakes," he told Arsenal Player.

"I am not a smoker. I spoke with the boss and he asked me what happened, I explained to him and we sorted it out.

"He put me in the team and hopefully I repaid him. I am not a smoker so I think that will be my last (cigarette)."
