Lucas Torreira goes for swanky meal up The Shard with girlfriend

Arsenal's Lucas Torreira spent his day off checking out the sights from The Shard with his girlfriend Vittoria Repetto over the weekend.

After Arsenal's 2-1 win against Newcastle on Saturday, Unai Emery gave his players the Sunday off.

Torreira and Repetto decided to spend it by ascending the tallest building in London for a swanky meal, and Repetto captured the moment on Instagram.

'Amazin place with my fav person,' said the caption as they took a picture at night with Tower Bridge lit up in the background.

Torreira wore a simple black t-shirt, jeans, and white trainers, while his psychology student girlfriend Repetto wore a black dress and heels.

The Oblix restaurant is located on the 32nd floor of The Shard, with plenty of pricey items on the menu.

Lucas Torreira came on at half time on Saturday, replacing Matteo Guendouzi in order to help bolster the midfield against Newcastle.

Newcastle started the game in the first half well, but a wonder strike from Granit Xhaka in the 49th minute took the wind out of their sails. A second from Mesut Ozil looked to kill off the game, but Newcastle rallied late with a goal from Ciaran Clark.

It was too little too late though, as Arsenal ended the game with a 2-1 win. It means Arsenal have won three in a row, while Newcastle are still without a win, sitting on just one point near the bottom of the table.

Torreira has played in all five games for Arsenal in the Premier League so far, but he's still looking for his first start as all of his appearances have been off the sub bench.
