Wilshere was in action for Bournemouth against Tottenham at the weekend.

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere went up against bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur this weekend, for the first time as a Bournemouth loanee.
The injury prone England international is on a season long loan at the Cherries, and played a part as they earned a 0-0 draw with Spurs.

It would be a result which ultimately prevented Mauricio Pochettino’s men from finishing the weekend top of the table, with leaders Manchester City also failing to win.
Wilshere played all 90 minutes, a rarity – the first time for 771 days.
He did not find it easy against Tottenham, whose powerhouse midfield duo of Victor Wanyama and Mousa Dembele restricted him to making only 23 successful passes.
Spurs fans took pleasure in his struggles, with Wilshere particularly unpopular after his derogatory chants about them during successive Arsenal FA Cup winning parades.
An interesting reception for Wilshere in the return fixture at White Hart Lane awaits…
