Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney has urged teammates to stay grounded after victory at Norwich.

The Gunners stormed to a 5-0 win at bottom club Norwich on Boxing Day to strengthen their grasp on fourth place in the Premier League.

Tierney doubled the lead at Carrow Road, firing in either side of a Bukayo Saka brace as an Alexandre Lacazette penalty and Emile Smith Rowe goal added the gloss late on.

"It's obviously what every Arsenal fan, player and staff wants, but there is a long way to go," Tierney said of the club's European ambitions.

“We can't get too ahead of ourselves yet. There are big games coming up and there are a lot of games coming, so there's still a long way to go.

“We have got a very young team and it's brilliant to see. Hopefully for years to come we are all playing together and growing together. I think you can see that over the last year or so."

Asked if Arsenal can take confidence from their recent run into games against the league's biggest sides, Tierney added: “That's the aim. We want to be the best we can every day and we are building to there.

“I think people can see over the last few months that we are getting better. We are getting more consistent. We are scoring more goals as well, so we just need to keep going in that direction.

“We are getting a run together. We are happy, we are playing well and we are scoring goals. We are getting there."
