Aston Villa's number one goalie, Emiliano Martinez has given a huge plaudits to Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey for his performance against them over the weekend and has described him as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League currently.
The Gunners maintained their perfect start of the season with a precious 2-0 away triumph over Aston Villa over the weekend in the second round of matches.
After what was a very tedious task for the runners up of last season, Belgian international Leandro Trossard lived up to his super-sub profile once again by breaking the deadlock of the game on the 67th minute.
Exactly ten minutes later, the Black Stars captain doubled the lead with a low-effort drive from just at the edge of the box to wrap up what was a crucial win for Mikel Arteta's side.
Speaking in a recent interview, Emiliano Martinez, who played a major role in Argentina's 2022 FIFA World Cup triumph in Qatar, had these kind words to say to the versatile Ghanaian midfielder.
“Tried my best to save it. I didn't know it was a shot from Partey until I raised my head after the ball went in. He's one of the best midfielders in the league."
Thomas Partey will hope to stay injury free as the season progresses and will once again seek another starting berth when Arsenal host Brighton and Hove Albion at the Emirates Stadium this weekend.
