Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has hailed the character of his side following their 2-2 draw with Everton in the Premier League today.

The Gunners had trailed to first-half goals from Seamus Coleman and Steven Naismith before Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud scored late on to salvage them a point.

"It is easy for me to say that we have great character but if we put in performances like that week in, week out we can prove it to people," he told Arsenal's official website. "We have got great character, great togetherness and some leaders out there that keep us going. We also have great players to go with that.

"We never give up and at this level that is massive. We have always shown over the years that Arsenal are going to battle like mad right until the end.

"There have been a few games where we have been behind right until the end but have kept going. This is a fantastic point and now we have a big game on Wednesday and this will give us great confidence going into that."

Arsenal are next in action on Wednesday when they face Besiktas in the second-leg of their Champions League playoff.
