Arsenal star Thomas Partey was second-best against West Ham star Declan Rice as the two London rivals drew 2-2 at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Gunners took an early 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard before the Hammers clawed their way back into the game.
Partey was at fault in the build-up to West Ham's first goal as he was dispossessed easily by Rice on the edge of Arsenal's penalty box - leading to Gabriel Magalhaes conceding a penalty after fouling Said Benrahma. The Algerian forward converted his spot kick before Bukayo Saka missed a crucial penalty in the title race, putting his strike wide of the post - with Granit Xhaka and Ian Wright publicly backing the Hale End star to bounce back after his penalty miss.
Jarrod Bowen equalised for David Moyes' side just minutes after Saka's missed opportunity to extend the north Londoners' lead as Arsenal dropped points for the second week in a row. Manchester City are now just four points behind the Gunners in the race for the title.
