Wilshere pleased with 'rare' goal

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has revealed his delight at scoring the winning goal in his side's victory over Swansea City on Wednesday.

The England international rifled home four minutes from time to give the Gunners a 1-0 win and advance from their FA Cup third-round replay at the Emirates Stadium.

The 21-year-old says that he is already looking ahead to the trip to Brighton & Hove Albion in the fourth round.

"I don't know if I'll ever hit another one like that in my life, and it was a great set-up from Olivier [Giroud]," Wilshere told ESPN.

"It was important we got the win in 90 minutes, we'd created chances (before the goal) but we just couldn't put it in.

"We know what the FA Cup means in England. It's a great competition and we wanted to be in the next round, but we've got a tough game away to Brighton."

Arsenal travel to Chelsea in their next game on Sunday.
