Goal Of The Day: Jack Wilshere Opens His England Account In Style

Goal Of The Day: Jack Wilshere Opens His England Account In Style

England play againast Slovenia at Stadion Stozice tonight in their third 2018 World Cup qualifier. England actually have a fair bit of history against tonight's opponents, you may be surprised to know.

The Three Lions were paired in the same group as Slovenia in the World Cup in 2010, with Jermaine Defoe scoring a memorable winner to secure England's passage to the last 16 out of the tournament in South Africa.

Five years later, England travelled to Slovenia for what proved to be a tricky Euro 2016 qualifier - with Wayne Rooney scoring a late winner to give his country a 3-2 win.


But it was Jack Wilshere who stole the show in what may well be his best display in an England shirt. The injury-plagued Arsenal man hit a thumping strike that was too powerful for Samir Handanovic, to open his England account and then followed it up with another absolute net-buster after a flick from Adam Lallana.

Both goals were absolutely stunning but the second one takes the cake. There's even 53 seconds worth of footage/replays dedicated to it in the following clip.


Unfortunately goals like this from Wilshere have been nothing more than a rarity, with the 24-year old ravaged by injuries.

But don't discount the stunning strikes he scored against Slovenia last year.

Take a bow, Jack!
