The Ghanaian international dominated the midfield, helping the Gunners to a 3-2 win in the intense week 35 clash on Sunday. Partey’s presence was felt throughout the game as Arsenal controlled the pace and tempo.
The opening goal came in the 15th minute when Pierre-Emile Højbjerg scored an own goal in a high-energy start to the match. The momentum continued as Bukayo Saka found the back of the net in the 27th minute, assisted by Kai Havertz. Havertz then doubled Arsenal’s lead by scoring the third goal in the 38th minute.
Despite going into halftime with a comfortable three-goal lead, Tottenham fought back in the second half. Cristian Romero scored in the 64th minute to start the comeback, with Heung-Min Son converting a penalty in the 87th minute to bring the score to 3-2.
Partey’s performance was a standout one, showcasing his value to the Arsenal team. Despite being limited to just 11 Premier League appearances due to injuries, the midfielder made a significant impact in the North London derby, helping his team secure a crucial victory in their quest for a strong finish in the league.
