Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney was one of the few Gunners players to come away with any credit from their 0-0 draw against Leeds yesterday evening.
Despite coming back from international duty with Scotland having played three games in seven games, he was still full of energy at Elland Road, roaming down the left flank, even after Nicolas Pepe was sent off in the second half.
Supporters on Twitter were delighted with the commitment and passion that Tierney showed throughout the 90 minutes, with some even suggesting that the 23-year-old should be handed a leadership role:

The Scottish international continued to press forward and help out Bukayo Saka as Arsenal tried to bag a goal on the counter-attack despite being put under a lot of pressure from Leeds.
Tierney certainly deserves all the praise that comes his way for his performances so far this campaign, and hopefully, the former Celtic defender can continue his great form over the coming weeks and months.
