Former Arsenal midfielder turned youth head coach Jack Wilshere has called upon fans to prove they're better than rivals Manchester United by showing up for the FA Youth Cup final. The under-18s side are set to host the competition at the Emirates Stadium against either West Ham or Southampton later this month.
The young Gunners booked their place in the final after a dramatic semi-final clash on Tuesday night against Manchester City. A packed 10,000-capacity crowd watched the tie as goals from Michal Rosiak and Justin Oboavwoduo left things all squared after 90 minutes - despite the away side spending the majority of the game reduced to ten after a red card for Lakyle Samuel.
Extra time was played and it seemed almost certain that proceedings would go towards a penalty shootout, but there was still drama to be had. With one of the final kicks of the game, Myles Lewis-Skelly struck the ball home and sent the squad into rapturous scenes at winning it late on.
