LOAN WATCH: Arsenal forward Campbell makes impression on Sporting Lisbon debut

Joel Campbell impressed on his debut for loan club Sporting Lisbon on Monday night.

The Arsenal forward, who joined the Portuguese giants on a season-long loan just over a week ago, made his way onto the Estadio Jose Alvalade pitch in the 69th minute of his side's come-from-behind 2-1 win over arch rivals Porto.

Costa Rican international Campbell chased down balls and showed some clever trickery while attempting to fire up the home fans, as you can see from the video below, made available on his Twitter page.

Lisbon levelled through Islam Slimani on 14 minutes after Felipe's opener for Porto six minutes prior, before Gelson Martins, who was replaced by Campbell, scored the eventual winner in the 26th minute.

Jorge Jesus' Lions currently sit on top of the Primeira Liga table with three wins from three league fixtures.
