Wilshere, who has struggled for minutes under Eddie Howe in recent weeks, started against the Premier League leaders and impressed on Saturday afternoon on the South Coast.

Blues skipper Terry, meanwhile, remained on the bench as Antonio Conte’s side closed in on the title, with goals from Eden Hazard and Marcos Alonso either side of the break at Dean Court.

Terry and Wilshere were England team-mates for a short period and the Chelsea man wrote some nice words for his compatriot on a shirt he swapped after the final whistle.

‘To Jack, great player and great man. Wish I had the chance to play with you week in week out,’ the 36-year-old defender said.



Wilshere later uploaded a picture of the shirt to his Instagram page and, unsurprisingly, it got a mixed reception from Arsenal fans.

It remains to be seen whether the midfielder will be playing his football at the Emirates next season.
