Video: Wilshere and Mirallas clash

FBL-ENG-PR-ARSENAL-EVERTON

If Jack Wilshere was frustrated at Arsenal?s inability to break Everton down, Kevin Mirallas did nothing to alleviate the Gunners midfielder's concerns.

The two were involved in a heated bust up at the Emirates Stadium after Belgian Mirallas cheekily squirted water on Wilshere as the pair walked towards the tunnel at half-time.

The Gunners young gun, who was making his return from injury, took exception, grabbing Mirallas as players from both sides rushed in to separate the pair.

It was a frustrating night for both teams, a draw doing nothing for either’s UEFA Champions League aspirations.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger wasn't happy with the Merseysider's physical approach to the crunch match.

"They decided to make it very physical and sometimes went over the edge, but the referee had to make the right decision," he said.

"But if we win our remaining games we’ll get into the Champions League."

Everton manager David Moyes was quick to dismiss his counterpart's complaints.

"Do you mean when we were a little bit rough with the tackling? Up north we do that quite often. That’s actually allowed in football." Moyes said.

Mirallas joins Messi, Maradonna, Giggs

Long range

Everton can thank a moment of magic from Kevin Mirallas for their win against Stoke City, as they keep pace with the race for a spot in Europe.

The Beligan achieved one of football's spectacular sights - an individual solo goal-scoring effort from within your own half, to collect this week's goal of the week award. 

He burst clear of Steven N'Zonzi and left Geoff Cameron chasing shadows before a sharp finish. 

It's not every day we get to enjoy goals like that. Here's some of recent pearlers - and a couple of oldies that have made football annals, you'll never forget them. 

Which is your favourite?

Nicky Carle - Newcastle Jets v Adelaide United, 2006

This famous run from Carle is one of the enduring images of the A-League's early days and the goal of the season in 2006-2007. 

Lionel Messi - Barcelona v Getafe, 2007

Comparisons with Diego Maradona reached fever pitch when Barcelona's star decided to collect a ball from inside his own half and dazzle his way past Getafe to score a goal reminiscent of the great Argentine. 

Diego Maradona - Argentina v England, 1986

Speaking of the great man, we can't put together this compilation without this goal. 

George Weah - AC Milan v Verona, 1996

At the peak of his powers, the Liberian was one of the hottest properties in world football - and was named the 1995 FIFA World Player of the Year. Here's why. 

Kaka - Brazil v Argentina, 2009

No surprise to see so many South Americans on this list. Here's a reminder why Kaka, off the radar a bit at Real Madrid, was such a precocious talent. 

Ronaldo - Barcelona v Compostela, 1996 

The Brazilian legend was one hell of a player in his day. And not just a fox in the box, as this shows. 

Ryan Giggs - Manchester United v Arsenal, 1999

This goal hardly needs an introduction. Outrageous not only for the skill, but the context - sending Manchester United into the FA Cup final.
