Arsenal U18 coach Wilshere FAYC win at Newcastle: So happy for Kamara

Arsenal U18 coach Jack Wilshere was left delighted after their FA Youth Cup win at Newcastle United.

Osman Kamara fired Arsenal into the next round of the competition, three minutes after coming off the bench, as the visitors won 3-2 at St James' Park.

“I'm so happy for Osman, he works so hard, he's always got a smile on his face and he deserved his goal, it was a great finish," Wilshere told arsenal.com.

“I've said before when you go on a cup run we are going to need everyone, it's a collective and combined effort. It's the staff, it's the substitutes, it's the whole squad. It's also the people at London Colney that make sure that we are fully prepared for every matchday.

“Then it comes down to us to deliver and the players did that today."

Going forward, Wilshere hopes this win will spur the team on going forward for the remainder of the season.

“I say to the players that they should enjoy these moments because coming to a stadium like St James' Park is a great stage for them.

“However, we need the same desire that we had tonight into every game going forward. They're going to have to want to win more than the opposition."
