Wilshere hits out at Ferguson ‘slap’

ARSENAL midfielder Jack Wilshere has hit out at Birmingham’s Barry Ferguson for allegedly slapping Laurent Koscielny on the head after Obafemi Martins’ late Carling Cup final winner.

Blues players ran across the Arsenal six-yard box to celebrate with Martins after he had taken advantage of an error involving Koscielny and goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny at Wembley on Sunday.

Television replays appeared to show Ferguson making contact with Koscielny while he was on his knees after his blunder handed the trophy to Alex McLeish’s side.
