Kieran Tierney captained Arsenal to victory over Brentford yesterday, albeit for a very short period, amid confusion over who is second in command at the Emirates.
The Scotland international and former Celtic defender was given the armband in the 84th minute of the clash after Granit Xhaka seemed to refuse it from Eddie Nketiah, who had come on in place of captain for the day Alexandre Lacazette.
However, boss Mikel Arteta explained that Xhaka - who was stripped of the captaincy under Unai Emery reign after a fallout with the Gunners support - was merely following protocol as Muirhouse man Tierney was next in line for the role.
