Wilshere calls on team-mates to bounce back from Barca blow

JACK WILSHERE has urged his Arsenal team-mates to use their anger after Tuesday night’s controversial Champions League defeat to Barcelona as motivation to win a Premier League and FA Cup double.

Arsene Wenger’s side had just retaken the lead on aggregate thanks to a Sergio Busquets own-goal when Robin Van Persie was shown a second yellow card by referee Massimo Busacca for time wasting after the Dutchman shot at goal having been flagged offside.

The striker was furious, as was Wenger, but Barcelona duly made the most of their numerical advantage to score twice more through Xavi and Lionel Messi to progress to the quarter-finals thanks to a 4-3 aggregate victory.
