Arsenal U18 coach Wilshere pleased with players for win at Leicester

Arsenal U18 coach Jack Wilshere praised his players after their 4-0 win at Leicester.

Arsenal bounced back after their 7-1 FA Youth Cup defeat at Liverpool last week.

Wilshere told the club's website: "We needed to show character after last week. It was tough for the team as it's probably the first time the players have experienced bad press, and negativity and you need character to overcome it.

“You need to get back to the drawing board, turn up to training and play games even harder. I asked them to show personality by being confident and getting on the ball.

“There was a lot of personality all over the pitch today so I'm very happy with that."

Goals from Michal Rosiak, Chido Obi-Martin, and a brace from Osman Kamara earned the win.
