Thomas Partey was sensational for the Gunners in the 3-1 North London Derby victory against Tottenham on Saturday. The 29-year-old completely bossed proceedings in the middle of the park and was arguably the deciding factor in the game.
His influence was proven with an excellent goal from outside the 18-yard box. His strike in the first half gave Arsenal the lead as the Gunners went on to win the match to keep Mikel Arteta’s side at the top of the table after eight matches.
The Ghanaian’s dominance in the middle of the park gave Arsenal fans flashbacks of Patrick Vieira in an Arsenal shirt nearly two decades ago. It seems that Arsene Wenger’s 13-year mission to replace the Frenchman has finally been achieved by Arteta.
