Wilshere back for Gunners after more than a year out

England midfielder Jack Wilshere started his first competitive Arsenal match in more than a year after returning from injury in this afternoon’s Barclays Premier League clash against QPR at Emirates Stadium.

The 20-year-old, whose last appearance came in May 2011, missed the whole of last season with niggling ankle and knee problems, which ruled him out of Euro 2012 and the London Olympics.
