# Arsenal: Fans aghast after Kieran Tierney made way for Sead Kolasinac

**Arsenal fans were left aghast after Kieran Tierney was substituted for Sead Kolasinac in the club’s 2-2 draw at home to Crystal Palace.**

The Scotland international, [who completed the second-most dribbles](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1376070/LiveStatistics/England-Premier-League-2019-2020-Arsenal-Crystal-Palace), was making his Premier League debut in the clash as the Gunners let a two-goal lead slip.

His appearance yesterday was just his fifth showing in all competitions for the club, despite Unai Emery’s side having played 14 games this season [(via Transfermarkt)](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kieran-tierney/leistungsdaten/spieler/300716).

Tierney’s impact at the club has been brilliant, with the Scotsman already playing the most successful crosses from open play despite only playing 395 minutes in all competitions [(via Orbinho)](https://twitter.com/Orbinho/status/1188487306447085572).

Meanwhile, Kolasinac isn’t the most popular of figures among the north London faithful, with some fans blasting the Bosnia and Herzegovina international for his poor showing in the past [(via HITC)](https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/10/01/arsenal-fans-react-on-twitter-to-sead-kolasinac-display-against/).

Fans took to Twitter to react to the substitution of the two men expressing their disbelief.

Here is a selection of tweets from Gooners:
