Jack Wilshere has hailed one of the "top moments" in his footballing career after Arsenal's under-18s booked their place in the FA Youth Cup final with a dramatic victory over Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium.
The game got off to a frantic start as City were reduced to 10 men inside the opening 10 minutes when Lakyle Samuel was sent off for a professional foul. Michal Rosiak scored from the resulting free kick to put Arsenal in the ascendency, but the visitors struck back in the second half with a Justin Oboavwoduo strike 15 minutes from time.
The game then headed into extra time and looked set for penalties, before Myles Lewis-Skelly popped up with a 121st minute header to send the Gunners to their first FA Youth Cup final since 2018. This sparked joyous full time scenes at the Emirates, and after the dust had settled slightly, Wilshere went on to admit that the breathtaking encounter would go down as one of the greatest moments of his career.
