Fabio Vieira impresses to prove Jamie Redknapp right in Arsenal win over Brentford

Fabio Vieira marked his full Arsenal debut with a stunning strike against Brentford, which put his side 3-0 up in the second half of the match at the G-Tech Community Stadium.

The Portuguese playmaker has had a slow start to life in North London following a knock suffered on Portugal duty at the start of the summer, but announced his presence in resounding fashion in West London on Sunday. His place in the starting lineup came as a result of an injury to Martin Odegaard and the 22-year-old took his chance in convincing fashion.

The former Porto man was singled out by Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp prior to the match, with the former Liverpool captain saying that he would have to adjust very quickly to the pace of the Premier League. Vieira had only played 15 minutes so far in the league having come on in a defeat at Old Trafford two weeks ago.
