Mikel Arteta praises new signing Fabio Vieira after Arsenal win

returned to the top of the Premier League table with a 0-3 victory against Brentford on Sunday. William Saliba, Gabriel Jesus, and new signing

scored for the Gunners in this match.

It is the third time that Arsenal has won six of their first seven games of a Premier League season.

The 22-year-old Vieira who joined Arsenal from Porto scored his first goal in his first start for the London club and Arteta after the game praised his performance.

"I think he's having a good progression,"

Arteta said.

"Obviously he missed the whole of pre-season due to injury, which was really unlucky. But we know his talent, the reasons why we signed him and what he can bring to the team.

"To do it against Brentford, at this ground, on his debut, is a different story. He showed again his character and his qualities."

Vieira played in the attacking midfielder role against Brentford but the Arsenal manager says the Portuguese midfielder also can do the dirty work on the pitch.

Arteta said:

"That's something that still needs to be decided. In those two attacking midfield positions, for sure. He's played off the side as well, so it's more about the relations he has in the unit and on his side, and where he is more comfortable. But the position he played today fits him really well.

"He's a creative player. He needs to play with his gut feeling and his instinct. That's what he needs to do and we need to create as many scenarios for him as possible to put his talent to the service of the team.

"What I like as well is the way he competes, and the way he went about the ugly part of the game really impressed me.”

Arteta also praised

who made the joint-highest number of key passes against Brentford. The Switzerland international has scored one goal and provided three assists in seven Premier League games this season.

Arteta added:

"His consistency, and how he goes about that every day is impressive.

"He has a willingness always to stay humble, to look forward and try to get better and when you do that, normally good things happen.

"I think he feels now that love and respect both ways [with the fans]. You see our supporters, the way they were singing to him as well, emotionally that makes him try to give even more.

"I'm really pleased for him because in my opinion he really deserves it."
