Kieran Tierney played a key role in Arsenal's 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup quarter-final but was forced off the pitch due to cramping. Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed the reason for Tierney's exit and highlighted the player's positive impact on the game.
Kieran Tierney returned to the Arsenal starting XI on Wednesday night, but limped out of the Carabao Cup quarter-final clash with Crystal Palace after 69 minutes. Manager Mikel Arteta has allayed fears of another injury for the 27-year-old, confirming it was simply cramp. Despite an early goal from Jean-Philippe Mateta, Arsenal won the match 3-2 with a hat-trick from Gabriel Jesus and a late goal from Eddie Nketiah.
Tierney impressed on his return, particularly in an attacking role, and Arteta believes the Scotland international can flourish in a more forward-thinking position
