Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has conceded that summer signing Fabio Vieira deserves to be playing more regularly after an impressive outing away at Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League.
The Gunners made the trip to Portugal for the first leg of their round-of-16 clash hoping to return to the Emirates with one foot already in the last eight. That did not prove to be the case, as Arsenal were actually forced to come from behind to earn a 2-2 draw to take back to north London.
In truth, it was nowhere near Arsenal at their best, though that is understandable given Arteta made six changes to his starting line-up from the one that beat Bournemouth in dramatic fashion last Saturday. For context, the most amount of changes the Spaniard has made between Premier League fixtures this term is three.
