Fabio Vieira shows Mikel Arteta will soon face Pep Guardiola conundrum at Arsenal

Arsenal's summer signing Fabio Vieira gave an early glimpse of his quality as he scored his first goal for the club in their win over Brentford.

The Portuguese playmaker was signed from Porto in the summer, but has had to be patient for his first start. That came his way on Sunday after Martin Odegaard was ruled out late on. In the absence of the captain, Vieira was able to take up a central role in the Gunners' attack and rifled home from 25 yards in west London.

Vieira is incredibly highly-rated despite not even being capped by his country yet. That said, his efforts in his homeland convinced the north Londoners to spend over £30m in the summer to sign him. Arteta is clearly impressed with how the 22-year-old has settled in.
