Jack Wilshere is one step away from leading Arsenal to more FA Youth Cup glory after his Under-18 side dramatically overcame Manchester City in the dying seconds of extra-time at the Emirates on Tuesday night.

The outstanding Myles Lewis-Skelly headed in the winner with virtually the last kick of the game, sparking wild scenes at the Emirates.

Arsenal’s bench flooded on to the pitch, while City’s players collapsed to the floor.

The visitors had been down to 10 men from inside the first 10 minutes and they trailed for much of the evening after Michal Rosiak curled home a free kick following Lakyle Samuel’s red card.

But City forced the game into extra-time after Justin Oboavwoduo’s 15th goal in his last 11 games.

Neither side could find a winner until the 120th minute, when Arsenal captain Bradley Ibrahim floated a ball into the box and Lewis-Skelly beat City keeper George Murray-Jones to the ball.

That goal takes Arsenal into the final where they will face either West Ham or Southampton later this month.

Wilshere, who took over last summer, was the poster boy of Arsenal’s academy when they won the trophy in 2008-09. That remains the last time the Gunners triumphed in the competition.
