Wenger faces the press after 1-0 win over Doncaster
The Arsenal midfielder had a lot to be happy about on Wednesday night, as he completed 90 minutes - and had a fantastic game - in the Gunners' 1-0 win over Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup.
Putting his litany of injury problems behind him, Wilshere excelled as Arsene Wenger's men advanced to the fourth round courtesy of Theo Walcott's winner, and he completed his first 90 minutes in a Gunners shirt since a 2-1 defeat to Southampton at the same stage of the League Cup almost exactly three years ago.
Good to have you back, Jack! (
