Arsenal's Thomas Partey responds to Luis Suarez penalty claim ahead of Ghana vs Uruguay clash

Arsenal ace Thomas Partey has responded to Luis Suarez as part of a tense buildup to the clash between Ghana and Uruguay in the World Cup group stages. The match marks the first time the two nations have met since their fated match at South Africa 2010 in the Quarter-finals.

A back and forth between the South American and African nation, taking the game into extra-time and headed towards penalties at 2-2. In the final minute of the extra 30 minutes, a goalward-bound shot from Ghana was cleared off the line by Suarez, but he used his hand to do so.

The former Liverpool striker was sent off and a penalty was given, though that was missed by Asamoah Gyan, with Uruguay going on to win a dramatic penalty shootout. 12 years on and there's still plenty of dislike towards Suarez in Ghana, though the veteran was still put up for press conference duties in their first meeting since that fateful day.
