Ghana international Thomas Partey was in action for Arsenal as the Gunners staged a dramatic late comeback to defeat struggling Leicester City and reduce the gap to league leaders Liverpool.
A late brace from Mikel Merino secured all three points for Mikel Arteta’s side at the King Power Stadium, keeping their title hopes alive.
Partey, who started the match, played 75 minutes before being replaced by Jorginho as Arsenal pushed for a decisive breakthrough.
The win sees Arsenal move within four points of Liverpool, who face Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.
After the game, Partey expressed his delight with the team's resilience, posting:
"On days when I’m not at my best, the strength of the team carries us to victory. Vamoooosss."
The Ghanaian midfielder has been an integral part of Arsenal’s campaign, making his 24th Premier League appearance of the season while contributing three goals and two assists.
With only four months remaining on his current contract, Arsenal are reportedly preparing to offer Partey an extension to secure his long-term future at the club.
