Thomas Partey continued his impressive individual form despite Arsenal’s difficult period. The absence of Declan Rice and captain Martin Odegaard has increased the burden in midfield, but Partey showed composure and control. With a pass accuracy of 89% (56/63 successful passes), including 9 into the final area, Partey helped Arsenal maintain their attacking momentum throughout the 90 minutes.
Defensively, Partey was also solid, making six recoveries and four blocks, helping the visitors to limit Inter’s counter-attacks. Notably, he has had to change positions frequently this season, from central midfield to right-back, but has maintained a consistent form. Partey’s contract is about to expire, and given his recent contributions, Arteta will need to carefully consider the player’s future.
