'Everything he does is with purpose': Joe Cole hails 'fantastic' Arsenal midfielder Fabio Vieira after the playmaker starred during Arsenal's 3-0 win over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League... praising his 'velvet left foot' and 'confidence'

Joe Cole hailed Arsenal's midfielder Fabio Vieira after he starred during the Gunners' 3-0 win over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League on Thursday.

The 22-year-old moved to the Emirates from Porto for £34m in the summer but saw his early progress at the club halted through injury.

However, he excelled on Thursday, adding the third goal for Mikel Arteta's side. Vieira had earlier haid laid on a superb assist for Rob Holding in the first half with a pinpoint cross after Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring on the night.
