JACK Wilshere admitted he “forgot how to celebrate” after marking his return to Vitality Stadium with a brilliant first-time goal, as Cherries reached the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Crawley were briefly level after Tom Nichols responded to former Arsenal and West Ham midfielder Wilshere’s opener.

However, Joshua King hit a second-half winner for the hosts, as a 2-1 triumph set up a trip to Burnley in the next stage.

“From a personal point of view it was just a pleasure to be back starting a game,” said Wilshere.

“Last time I was here I didn’t score and it didn’t sit well with me. I forgot how to celebrate.

“I was a bit shocked. I probably should have had a couple more – I got into some good positions.”

Wilshere’s strike came on his first start for the club since his return to the club earlier this month.

Cherries boss Jason Tindall said: “It was nice to see Jack back out there in a competitive game in a Bournemouth shirt.

“Whilst he was on the pitch he delivered a really good solid performance, always available for the ball, always in some really good positions and very creative.

“He capped his performance off with a very well-taken goal.”
