Arsenal secured their third consecutive Premier League victory with a 3-1 comeback win against Brentford on Wednesday. Despite a promising start, the Gunners found themselves trailing after just 13 minutes.
Thomas Frank’s side struck on the counter, with Bryan Mbeumo netting his 11th goal of the Premier League season for the hosts.
Arsenal responded before halftime, leveling the score through Gabriel Jesus, who capitalized on a rebound after Thomas Partey’s powerful effort was parried away.
The Gunners dominated the second half, sealing the win with quick goals from Mikel Merino and Gabriel Martinelli, showcasing their attacking prowess.
The Gunners not only sealed a crucial three points, but also witnessed a standout display from an unexpected hero—Thomas Partey . The Ghanaian midfielder, who has often been overshadowed by more high-profile players, emerged as one of the driving forces behind the victory, with a memorable goal and an all-around performance that has left many supporters calling for Mikel Arteta to build his team around him and extent his contract”
Among several standout performances in the London derby, Thomas Partey was particularly impressive in his defensive midfield role. Returning to the starting XI, the Ghanaian international displayed his quality, winning 89 percent of his ground and aerial duels, making six ball recoveries, and completing three successful tackles.
Partey also played a crucial role in Arsenal’s equalizer, with his long-range shot leading to Jesus’s rebound header into the net.
The former Atletico Madrid star earned an 8/10 rating from football.london for his stellar display. Signed for £45 million, Partey has been a key player for Arsenal this season, remaining injury-free and delivering consistent performances.
With his current £200,000-per-week contract expiring in June, Arsenal are yet to open talks on a renewal. At 31, Partey’s injury-free campaign has highlighted his value to the team, leaving fans eager to see if the club will extend his stay.
