Thomas Partey made his return to action for Arsenal on Monday night after a lengthy absence due to injury, helping the team secure a dominant 6-0 victory over Sheffield United.
The midfielder had been sidelined since October 18th, missing 23 games for the Gunners, but he finally got the chance to get back on the pitch in the 65th minute, replacing Jorginho.
Despite his long layoff, Partey was decent at Bramall Lane, contributing to Arsenal’s seventh consecutive Premier League win.
The team’s impressive display saw them take a 3-0 lead within the first 13 minutes, with goals from Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, and Kai Havertz.
