Kieran Tierney has insisted to Mikel Arteta that he is ready to start Arsenal ’s key match against Chelsea this weekend after scoring the winner against Zurich.
Tierney produced a lovely finish from the edge of the penalty area to put the Gunners 1-0 up early in the first half and the strike turned out to be crucial on an edgy night at the Emirates Stadium. Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel Jesus and Fabio Vieira could not take their chances to leave the match open to a nervy finish.
Arsenal withstood the pressure from Zurich to win 1-0, secure top spot in Group A and qualify automatically for the last-16 of the Europa League. They will now turn their attention to Sunday’s trip to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea in a huge Premier League game.
