Thomas Partey has revealed how Mikel Arteta planned his 'assist' for Gabriel Martinelli's goal during Arsenal's 3-2 win over Watford on Sunday.
With the score at 2-1 early in the second half the Gunners boss raced out of his technical area to retrieve a misplaced pass from Imran Louza which had gone out of play, enabling Bukayo Saka to take a quick throw in that set off a delightful team move involving Cedric and Alexandre Lacazette which culminated in Martinelli's finish.
When asked about it after the game Arteta appeared to imply that it was a spur of the moment thing. "Everybody can contribute somehow and I had the opportunity to do that, so it’s good," the Spaniard said in his post-match press conference.
