Some Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Kieran Tierney against Sheffield United on Sunday afternoon.

The former Celtic left-back was in action for Arsenal in their FA Cup sixth-round tie against United away from home at Bramall Lane.

The 23-year-old started the tie and played for the entire 90 minutes, as Mikel Arteta’s side won 2-1.

Tierney had a very good game on a personal level, as the left-back did well at the back and also pushed forward.

According to WhoScored, the left-back took two shots which were not on target, played one key pass, had a pass accuracy of 67.6%, won two headers, took 58 touches, made one tackle, one interception and one clearance, and put in five crosses.

Some Arsenal fans were impressed with the display produced by Tierney against United and have praised him on Twitter.

Below are some of the best comments:

Positive result

Arsenal won against Southampton this past Thursday to maintain their chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League table this season.

The victory over the Blades this afternoon means that the Gunners are still in the hunt for the FA Cup.

Back-to-back wins will have certainly enhanced the positivity and optimism among Arsenal fans.
