While there wasn’t much to cheer about for Arsenal in their return to Premier League action, some Gunners fans were pleased with Kieran Tierney’s performance.

Arsenal fell to a meek 3-0 away defeat at the hands of Manchester City on Wednesday night, a game littered with errors from Mikel Arteta’s side.

David Luiz, who came on in the 24th minute for the injured Pablo Mari, failed to clear the ball just before half time, which enabled Raheem Sterling to open the scoring.

The Brazilian then conceded a penalty and was sent off for pulling Riyad Mahrez back, with Kevin De Bruyne duly slotting in for City’s second.

Phil Foden then made it three in injury time as the reigning Premier League champions enjoyed a bright return to proceedings at the expense of the Gunners.

Despite the scoreline, Tierney put in a very promising performance, showing great movement and doing his bit defensively with good composure and positioning.

The Scotland ace may have endured an injury-plagued first season at the Emirates Stadium but his display certainly bodes well for the future.
