Arsenal fans may not have had a lot to smile about following their clash with Crystal Palace on Sunday, but plenty of supporters were raving about Kieran Tierney on social media after the 2-2 draw.

Tierney went into the weekend still awaiting the chance to make his Premier League debut. He had whetted the appetite however, with some outstanding displays in the Europa League and Carabao Cup.

And Emery finally handed the summer signing his chance in the top flight against the Eagles. Unfortunately, it was another result that dealt a blow to Emery’s popularity as Arsenal threw away a two-goal lead.

Tierney got 75 minutes under his belt. And a number of supporters suggested on Twitter after the game that he was one of the shining lights to emerge from another difficult day.

He has already shown how good he can be when crossing the ball – he has two assists in two games in Europe this term – and he impressed again on Sunday.

Some have suggested that Tierney has the potential to be the best left-back in the world. And it appears that Arsenal fans will passionately back their player over Liverpool’s Andrew Robertson when debating Scotland’s best in that position.

It appears to be a matter of time before Tierney is first-choice in that position. His fitness is building up and he is one player the fans have taken to already.
