Arsene Wenger insists Jack Wilshere silenced his critics by inspiring Arsenal's fightback against Manchester City.
The 22-year-old reacted to Sergio Aguero's opener by lobbing Joe Hart before teeing up a sublime volley for Alexis Sanchez. Martin Demichelis' late header salvaged a 2-2 draw for City, but it was the dynamic Wilshere who really caught the eye.
"The best place to answer critics is on the pitch," said Wenger. "Jack finished with his right foot and chipped a goalkeeper who knows him well. I'm very happy with that way he finished.
"He looked dangerous in the first half as well because he has found his pace again. I'm very happy."
