Kieran Tierney showed Mikel Arteta just why he should be considered as Arsenal ’s first choice left back with a stunning display in Scotland’s 3-0 victory over Ukraine in the UEFA Nations League on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old started from the off following an injury to national team captain and Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson, who is Steve Clarke’s natural first choice on the left, but staked his own claim for a consistent starting spot with an impressive showing.
Tierney has lost his starting spot to summer signing Oleksandr Zinchenko this season, who was also ruled out for Ukraine, but has now given Arteta food for thought over restoring the Scotsman to his starting lineup on a more consistent basis.
