Some fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney for Scotland last night.

What’s the story?

Tierney was in action for Scotland against Denmark in their final 2022 World Cup qualifier last night.

Scotland won 2-0.

Arsenal left-back Tierney started the match.

The former Celtic star was deployed on the left of a back-three.

And he was brilliant.

Tierney marched forward whenever he got the chance, and he was defensively solid as well.

The 24-year-old took two shots, had a pass accuracy of 82.2%, won three headers, took 63 touches, made one interception and three clearances, and put in one crosses.

What are fans saying?

As you can see from the tweets below, fans who were watching the Scotland match last night were impressed by Tierney.

Well, some of them anyway.

The 24-year-old is one of the best left-backs in the world and delivers consistently.

For both Arsenal and Scotland.

Arsenal will take on Liverpool away from home at Anfield in the Premier League this coming weekend.

It will be interesting to see if Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta includes Tierney in his starting lineup or keeps faith in Nuno Tavares.
