A number of Arsenal fans have been blown away by Kieran Tierney after the left-back produced an outstanding performance in the 4-0 win against Standard Liege in the Europa League.

It has been a difficult time for Tierney since arriving at the Emirates in the summer. Injury has restricted the Scot to just one appearance so far this season. But Emery confirmed ahead of the game, in comments reported by Football London, that he was set to be involved against the Belgian side.

And Tierney certainly did not disappoint. It took the 22-year-old just 13 minutes to register an assist. His superb cross was turned home by Gabriel Martinelli for the game’s opening goal.
