Thomas Partey pays tribute to compatriot Christian Atsu after scoring in Arsenal victory

Thomas Partey paid an emotional tribute to the late Christian Atsu after helping Arsenal complete a stunning comeback on Saturday.

Atsu sadly fell victim to last month's disastrous earthquake in Turkey and Syria, which has claimed the lives of more than 50,000 people. Partey played alongside Atsu at international level for Ghana, with the latter earning 65 caps before passing away aged 31.

Partey was keen to pay his respects to his former team-mate after Arsenal recovered from two goals down to beat Bournemouth 3-2 at the Emirates. The Ghanaian midfielder scored Arsenal's first goal to help them maintain a five-point lead at the top of the table.
