Arsenal loanee Lucas Torreira plays on after losing his front tooth in a NASTY injury after scoring in Fiorentina's draw with Inter Milan... as the midfielder edges closer to a permanent switch

Lucas Torreira enjoyed an eventful game in Fiorentina's 1-1 draw with Inter Milan in the Serie A as he scored and broken his tooth.

The Arsenal loanee had opened the scoring for his team at San Siro but later received a knock to the face, returning to the pitch with a big ball of cotton wool in his mouth.

The Uruguayan battled on despite the horror injury to play the entire 90 minutes, and even found time to laugh about it after the game.
