Jack Wilshere says his overriding feeling is “devastation” after Arsenal’s 5-1 FA Youth Cup final defeat to West Ham, but spoke of his pride in the “unbelievable memories” created en route to the showpiece.
Wilshere’s youngsters took an early lead in Tuesday night’s final in front of 34,000 fans at the Emirates, but were blown away by a ruthless Hammers showing as Kevin Keen’s side added a first Youth Cup crown since 1999 to the U18 Premier League South title they won earlier this season.
