Jack Wilshere admits "devastation" after Arsenal thrashed in FA Youth Cup final - "It looks bad"

Arsenal under-18 manager Jack Wilshere couldn't hide his frustration after his team was put to the sword by West Ham in the FA Youth Cup final.

Wilshere's young squad, which contained several players who have made matchday squads for the first team, beat Manchester City in the semis to set up a home final against Kevin Keen's Hammers. The North London side took an early lead through Omari Benjamin, only for their opponents to hit back with five goals in a comprehensive win.
