Arsenal earned a point in a pulsating game after Hector Bellerin fired past Thibaut Courtois deep in stoppage time.
Wilshere meanwhile, who opened the scoring, was walking a tightrope after he had been cautioned.
And after appearing to go down easily following a coming together with Andreas Christensen, the midfielder escaped further punishment.
And Neville thinks Wilshere was fortunate to stay on the pitch and accused the referee Anthony Taylor of “shirking a big decision”.
“It's either a booking or a free kick, surely?,” Neville told Sky Sports.
