Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes Jack Wilshere has silenced his critics with his five-star showing in their draw with Manchester City.
Wilshere reacted to Sergio Aguero's opener by lobbing Joe Hart before teeing up a sublime volley for Alexis Sanchez.
Martin Demichelis' late header salvaged a 2-2 draw for City, but it was the dynamic Wilshere who really caught the eye.
"The best place to answer critics is on the pitch," said Wenger.
"That's what Jack did, but I don't believe we can explain his good performance through the criticism of Paul Scholes.
"But you have to respond to critics when you're in a public job. You have accept criticism, go on the pitch and show you have the talent.
"The most important thing is to go show how good you are.
"Jack finished with his right foot and chipped a goalkeeper who knows him well. I'm very happy with that way he finished.
"He looked dangerous in the first half as well because he has found his pace again. I'm very happy."
