Thomas Partey played a pivotal role in Arsenal’s 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium, helping the Gunners secure their first Premier League win in five matches.
The Ghanaian midfielder, who came on as a substitute at halftime, made an instant impact, capping his performance with a stunning goal from 20 yards out.
Partey’s strike, his second of the season, came at a crucial moment when Arsenal needed to solidify their dominance.
Picking up the ball outside the box, he curled a perfectly placed shot into the net, leaving the Forest goalkeeper with no chance.
His composure and precision provided Arsenal with a much-needed boost as they aim to reignite their title challenge.
Despite recent struggles due to injuries and a demanding fixture schedule, Partey’s return to form offers a beacon of hope for Mikel Arteta’s side.
The midfielder’s control and presence in the middle of the park helped stabilize Arsenal’s play and ensure a commanding performance against a spirited Forest team.
The 31-year-old was not included in Ghana’s squad for this month’s 2025 AFCON qualifiers due to coach Otto Addo’s decision.
