Jack Wilshere defends Arsenal character after Troy Deeney comments

Jack Wilshere has defended the character of his Arsenal teammates after it was called into question by Watford captain Troy Deeney.

The Hornets skipper lambasted Arsenal’s performance following their 2-1 loss at Vicarage Road on Saturday.

Per Mertesacker had headed the Gunners ahead before Deeney came off the bench to equalise from the penalty spot, with Tom Cleverley lashing home an injury-time winner for the hosts.
