Watch: ​Arsenal U18s coach Wilshere delivers powerful speech at Spurs win

Former Arsenal and West Ham star Jack Wilshere gave a powerful speech to the Gunners' Under-18s recently.

Wilshere took charge of his first win at that level as a coach, against Tottenham Under-18s.

The Gunners' youngsters were very impressive in the game, as they claimed a 4-1 win over their city rivals.

Their previous results were a 1-0 loss to Chelsea and a 1-1 draw against Fulham.

"How does that feel? You deserve it," Wilshere told his players.

"Every single one of you deserve it for your performances this season.

"We haven't got the results we want, that's fine, but we keep building. The way you train, your attitude, remember what I said to you before the game?

"Look into my eyes. I saw every single one of you look at me and look at each other, and that is a performance which tells me you are together.

"You've all got passion, you've all got desire and you want to win. That's the level boys.

"There's some things in the second half we can do better, and we will get better because we keep working every day in training and that is credit to you.

"But the level of the energy that I asked for, the passion, pride, desire, that's the standard.

"We have to get that every week, not just because it's Tottenham. Every single week and we'll blow teams away. Alright? Okay?

"After three, I want you to shout as loud as you can, so they know what it means to us. One, two three… Come on!"
