Arsenal’s golden boy has hit a new low.
Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere’s start to the season took an unfortunate turn as he was sent off for the club’s under-23 side.
Wilshere had begun the fixture against Manchester City well, providing an assist as the Gunners went 3-1 up.
Then early in the second half he was knocked to the floor by a late challenge and jumped up furiously to push his opponent to the floor and start a mini brawl.
Wilshere was swiftly sent off, and Arsenal clung on to win the fixture 4-3 at The Emirates.
The England international’s career is at a low ebb after a succession of injuries.
Last season he was loaned out to Bournemouth where he was effective without being inspiring, before he suffered a serious injury late in the campaign which ruined his preparation for 2017/18.
The midfielder has been linked with an exit in recent days but his actions may not have done him too many favours.
