Jack Wilshere injury: Bournemouth star hits out at Tottenham fans over reaction
BOURNEMOUTH defender Steve Cook has slammed Tottenham fans for cheering when Arsenal loanee Jack Wilshere picked up an injury on Saturday.

Bournemouth were beaten 4-0 at White Hart Lane and their afternoon was made even worse when Wilshere hobbled off with an ankle injury in the second half.
And the Tottenham supporters celebrated as the midfielder slumped to the ground and then again as he limped down the tunnel.
Cook is aware of the rivalry between Arsenal and Tottenham, but believes the reaction to his team-mate suffering an injury was too much.

"Obviously there's no love lost between Arsenal and Tottenham fans and especially Jack and the Tottenham fans," Cook said.
"But it's not nice. He's a professional and I know a lot has been said in the past and a lot has happened but no-one likes to see a reaction like that to a player getting injured.
"That's the game I suppose but for me it was disappointing."

Wilshere has made 27 appearances for the Cherries since this season and he will now undergo tests to determine the severity of his injury.
"It didn't look good," Cook added. "We hope it's good news. I'm sure we'll find out in the next couple of days.
"It's very disappointing for him especially in this game to come off injured so hopefully it's fine."
