Arsenal U21 coach Steve Gatting was impressed by Jack Wilshere during defeat to Reading yesterday.

Wilshere almost completed a full 90 for the Gunners.

"The result was disappointing and the performance was okay. We came out with some good positives," Gatting told arsenal.com.

"Abou Diaby was excellent in the time he was on the pitch and Jack Wilshere was outstanding - the best player on the pitch by far. Serge Gnabry got through it for the second 90 minutes he's played for us and it's minutes on the pitch that will get their sharpness back."
