Following his outstanding performance against Liverpool on Sunday, October 9, 2002, Black Stars midfielder Thomas Partey has received praise from several Arsenal supporters on social networking.
The core of Arsenal’s midfield, Thomas Partey, guided the Gunners to a 3-2 victory at the Emirates.
For Arsenal, goals came from Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, the latter of whom notched a hat trick. Darwin Nunez and Firmino won the consolation for Liverpool.
Thomas Partey played for 90 minutes, had 59 touches, completed 39 of 43 passes, finished six of seven long balls, made six clearances, recovered five balls, completed five final third passes, made two interceptions, and made one chance.
The Ghanaian received a rating of 7.2, and some fans selected him as the game’s best player.
Others showered him with praise, stating he controlled the midfield and rendered Thiago and Henderson of Liverpool ineffective during the match.
Some supporters also believed that Arsenal might have a successful season if Partey can stay for a long time.
Another admirer of Partey’s performance was well-known British broadcaster Piers Morgan, who tweeted a tribute to the Ghanaian.

Thomas Partey shields the defence well with his good positioning and physical presence. He’s also integral to our build up, relieves pressure with his elite receiving of the ball and creates attacks with a fantastic dribbling ability and quality passing range.Stay fit ???????????????????? pic.twitter.com/6SYU6JSIAB
