Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has admitted he made a mistake by smoking a cigarette but has insisted he will never be drawn in to it again in future.


The 21-year-old was photographed smoking outside a nightclub following Arsenal's win over Napoli. Despite the incident Wilshere was recalled to Wenger's starting XI for Sunday's 1-1 draw at West Brom, scoring the equalising goal which took Arsenal back to the top of the EPL table.
