Arsenal talent Joe Willock has lauded Jack Wilshere for his performance in the Gunners' 4-2 Europa League win away at BATE Borisov.
Arsene Wenger handed Wilshere a start in Belarus and the midfielder did not let the French tactician down as he turned in a superb display.
Wilshere set up Theo Walcott, who hit the post, before then setting him up again and watching Walcott open the scoring as a result in the ninth minute.
The 25-year-old made sure to take his chance in the team and produced a number of incisive passes as he demostrated his value.
For Willock, there is much more to come from Wilshere as he is not yet back at his peak fitness level.

"He was terrific", Willock told Arsenal's official site.
"He’s just getting his fitness back and hopefully he’ll push on and carry on playing."
Willock was also delighted to have been handed his full debut by Wenger in the Europa League clash and is happy the Frenchman has faith in his ability.
"Yes it was good, it was something that I’ve also dreamed of as a child and finally I’ve done it.
"I’m just happy that the boss had faith in me, but yes it was good", he added.
Willock completed 89 of the 90 minutes in Belarus.
