Arsenal fullback Tierney: Form surge has come from the boss

Arsenal fullback Kieran Tierney has hailed the work of manager Mikel Arteta after their draw with Leicester City.

Arsenal's recent resurgence was checked by Leicester on Tuesday night - however they have revived their European hopes during the last fortnight and reached the FA Cup semi-final since starting Project Restart with successive defeats at Manchester City and Brighton.

Tierney said: "[It has come from] the boss. The boss has been brilliant, I think we had a period to work closely and obviously coming back we had a few weeks to work without games.

"We did that, we worked hard every day and continued into the games - the first few results we got weren't obviously ideal but we are building something here and it isn't going to happen overnight.

"I think everybody can see we are progressing well, we have still got on a long way to go but we are doing all we can, listening to everything he says and we all believe."
