Some Arsenal fans love what Kieran Tierney did on Friday

Arsenal star Kieran Tierney delivered an immense performance for Scotland in Friday’s World Cup qualifier against Moldova.

The Gunners defender played the full 90 minutes in Chisinau as Steve Clarke’s charges secured a playoff place.

Tierney’s nation opened the scoring in the 38th minute through Nathan Patterson’s first goal for his country.

Che Adams then doubled Scotland’s lead in the 65th minute, but the hosts had a chance to level from the penalty spot.

Eight minutes from time, Vadim Rata stepped up following Patterson’s handball, but Craig Gordon saved the effort.

And then, Tierney weighed in with a brave tackle to send the looping ball out for a corner.

SAVED! 🧤⛔

Incredible reactions from Kieran Tierney after Craig Gordon’s penalty save, effort should be the minimum requirement but the concentration, determination, desire and hunger to back up his goalie and keep that clean sheet sums up everything this Scotland team are all about. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Kieran Tierney is one of the best left backs in the world and nobody will tell me other wise.

How he is at Arsenal and not a bigger club is beyond me.

Absolutely tremendous.
